Introduction

The Academic Promotion Vice-Chancellor's Directive (HR Manual 5.11) sets out the process by which eligible academics may seek promotion  and the criteria against which academic staff will be assessed for promotion.  

This Directive was recently modified. The revised Directive took effect from 1 July 2011 and applies to Promotion to Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and Professor in 2012.

Submitting an Application for Promotion 

If you are thinking of applying for promotion you should:
  1. Check that you are eligible to apply (refer to Academic Promotion Vice-Chancellor's Directive).
  2. Carefully consider the criteria for promotion and how you would demonstrate that you meet the criteria. 
  3. Discuss your intention to apply with your academic supervisor. You should ask for your supervisor’s opinion on whether you are ready to apply. Your academic supervisor can review and comment on your draft application.
  4. Attend IML and E&DU information sessions, and/or contact IML or an academic mentor for advice and assistance.
  5. Ensure your Dean is aware of your intention to apply for promotion and give them sufficient time to review your application before the due date.
By 5pm on the application closing date, you must:
  • Email your complete application to Melissa Kowal in the Human Resources Unit (melissa.kowal@uts.edu.au), and
  • Submit 10 bound copies of your application to the Human Resources Unit (Level 6, Building 10, City Campus)

Please note: Extensions to the application due date will NOT be given where an applicant has not provided their Supervisor and Dean with sufficient time to review and endorse their application. Please ensure your application is with your Supervisor at least one week prior to the due date.
