Scoring Research Associates (Grade 7)

Applicants for promotion to Research Associate (Grade 7) will be assessed against the following evaluative criteria and scoring methodology, which accounts for the fact that few employees at these grades may have the opportunity to fulfil the Service criterion in fulfilment of their roles: 

• Research and Researcher Development (100/100); 

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 (90/100); 
• Service to the University and the Academic Community (10/100).
