The University will annually provide an opportunity for academic employees to seek promotion to the next level on the basis of meritorious performance. In exceptional circumstances it is possible to seek promotion over more than one level.
The opportunity to apply for promotion is open to all full-time or fractional academic employees who hold continuing or fixed term appointments (of greater than 12 months duration). Applications are called for and managed by Human Resources.
To be eligible to apply for promotion academic employees will:
(i) Have completed at least one year's service in the University in a fractional or full-time appointment as at the closing date of applications.
(ii) For promotion to Level B, should have a masters qualification in the relevant discipline area*
(iii) For promotion to Level C, D and E, should have a doctoral qualification in the relevant discipline area*
* Cases will be considered for equivalence on the basis of professional standing and must be submitted in writing.
Promotion of eligible employees will be 'on merit'. The University identifies the following three broad areas of professional activity as worthy of contributing to individual excellence:
(i) Teaching and Related Scholarship
(ii) Research and Original Achievement
(iii) Service to the University, Community and Profession
Applications for promotion to Levels B and C will be considered by a Faculty Promotion Committee, whilst those applying for promotion to Levels D and E will be considered by the University Promotion Committee. Applicants applying for promotion to Level E will have two external assessors selected by the Chair of the Panel who will contribute to the assessment of the candidate.
Applicants are required to submit via email a copy of their application addressed to the Executive Officer of the appropriate promotion committee by 5:00pm on the specified closing date.
