Preface

The purpose of this document is to guide the applicant as well as the committee in consideration of applications for appointment or promotion of new and existing staff
Where Schools apply specific criteria (e.g. appointment or promotion dependent upon applicant having a specific higher degree), such criteria should be well-documented and presented to the committee with the application.
While this document provides detail as to Faculty and School requirements for appointment and promotion of staff, all applications must conform to University policies as detailed in the following documents which inter alia give guidance regarding necessary supporting documentation:
- HRA07 – Appointment and promotion to Reader or Research Professor
- HRA08 – Appointment and promotion to Associate Professor
- HRA09 – Appointment and promotion of Adjunct Professor, Associate Professor or Personal Professor
It is important that all documentation submitted to the committee reflects the applicant’s current status and must include updated curriculum vitae and teaching portfolios.
