Ah, I misunderstood. Yeah, that’s common, but not a choice, they are different types of positions, with different fundings usually. You can’t switch between them
Right. I meant “choice” as in professors can work it out with the dean. If the professor doesn’t like the answer from the dean, they can shop around for another university.
Each college does it differently. Some allow professors to choose research vs teaching, some require a fixed balance.
Never heard of being able to choose
Yup. Some have research-only professors, and some expect all professors to teach classes. It really depends on the university.
