Academic Promotion

The updated policy and new criteria for academic promotion is now in the second year of operation.  Following feedback from the Colleges, there have been some small amendments to the procedure to provide clarity for applicants.

As detailed previously, the revised promotion criteria have been introduced under five generic headings for those pursuing the academic career track.  This is consistent with the framework for conducting professorial zoning framework, and the revised professorial promotion criteria aligned with the range of academic activity at zone 1 of the College professorial zone descriptors.  Similarly, the promotion criteria applicable to grade 7, 8 and 9 have been amended and are presented in a similar format to ensure uniformity and consistency of approach across research and teaching grades 7-10.

There remain four separate academic career tracks within the University:

  • Research & Teaching
  • Research (up to grade 9)
  • Teaching, Learning & Scholarship
  • Veterinary Clinical Medicine

The Appointment, Progression and Promotion policy and related criteria will assist in enabling the University to develop the academic potential of our staff, and promote academic talent within a clear and supportive framework,  both of which are key to the realisation of its ambitious plans.

We continue to communicate and consult with GUCU on matters of this nature and encourage your continuing engagement in this process.

Application timeline

Applications for consideration in this year’s progression and promotion round may be submitted until the 25 January 2013.  In the meantime, if you have any specific questions regarding the process or the documentation please email direct to Ann Hastings.
