To obtain a faculty position does one need to be board certified?

Usually yes ( or BE within 3-5 years of residency)

Agree. I know of one doctor with a faculty position not yet certified but he graduated about two years ago and the department I'm in will likely at some point place the pressure on him to get it.
well not initially, but nobody who graduates from residency is immediately board certified....it's going to be a minimum of 3 months or so.
Most jobs require board certification eventually...usually within 3-5 years. Academia is probably on the shorter end of that spectrum, and they are going to want you to become board certified within the first 18 or so months of you graduating from residency.
No. Not if you are a researcher and very good. Then it is all about what you publish. Or if you are a clinician alone and bring in a lot of revenue. That being said, if you do those things, you are probably going to be BC.
