Scoring Assistant Research Professorships (Grade 9)

Applicants for promotion to Assistant Research Professor (Grade 9) will be assessed against the following evaluative criteria and scoring methodology: 

  • Research and Researcher Development (80/100); 
  • Service to the University and the Academic Community (20/100).

However, in recognition of the different contexts and roles held by research employees in different institutions with other opportunities to contribute, an alternative weighting is also available for which a clear rationale would be needed. More information can be found in the section “Departure from the Standard Scoring Model” (see here).  The alternative scoring methodology is:

  • Research and Researcher Development (70/100); 
  • Service to the University and the Academic Community (30/100).
