When to apply
Applications for promotion from Lecturer (teaching) 7 to Grade 8 can be made at any time of the year.
These cases will be considered by Academic Staff Committee (ASC).
How to apply
Candidates for promotion from Lecturer (teaching) Grade 7 to Grade 8 are expected to demonstrate:
evidence of sustained performance in Teaching
two or more of the criteria in Teaching/Management and Leadership
If you believe you meet the criteria, please complete the application form (Lecturer grade 7 to grade 8) and submit this and the supporting documentation to your Head of Department (Dean for School of Management).
What happens next
Your Head of Department (Dean for School of Management) will consult senior staff within the Department/School to assess the level of support for the applications.
If your Head of Department/Division supports your case, they will submit your completed application to Human Resources along with:
the Dean of Faculty/School assessment
a supporting statement from another senior member of the Department/Division
supporting information including online unit evaluation scores
a recent teaching observation
Considering your case
Your case will be considered by ASC who will decide either to:
confirm the promotion
decline the promotion
interview you before a decision is made
Your Head of Department (Dean for School of Management) will be notified of the outcome and they will let you know.
Promotion will take effect from the first day of the month following the ASC meeting. For more information on starting salaries for successful promotions, please refer to the University guidance.
If a case for promotion is not supported either by the Department or by ASC, your Head of Department/Division will arrange for a Personal Action Plan to be developed.
