Applications for promotion to Professorships and Clinical Professorships will be assessed against the following evaluative criteria and scoring methodology:
- Research and Research leadership (50/100);
- Teaching and Researcher Development (30/100); and
- Service to the University and the Academic Community (20/100).
The lowest two bandings (‘Clearly Unsatisfactory’ and ‘Insufficient/Unclear Evidence’) are deemed to be below the threshold for promotion.
Please note, it is expected that applications from current Research staff are assessed and scored in the same way as applications from current Academic staff.
| Standard Scoring Model | |||
| Performance descriptor (Banding) | Research and Research Leadership | Teaching and Researcher Development | Service to the University and the Academic Community |
| Outstanding Evidence* | 36 - 50 | 24 - 30 | 15 - 20 |
| Strong Evidence** | 22 - 35 | 15 - 23 | 10 - 14 |
| Moderate Evidence | 12 - 21 | 9 - 14 | 7 - 9 |
| Insufficient/Unclear Evidence | 7 - 11 | 4 - 8 | 4 - 6 |
| Clearly Unsatisfactory | 1 - 6 | 1 - 3 | 1 - 3 |
*A score in the Outstanding Evidence banding would be expected for applications which demonstrate the applicant has delivered exceptional accomplishments, demonstrated in their achievement of the Assessment Criteria.
**A score in the Strong Evidence banding would be expected for applications which demonstrate the applicant has exceeded expectations, demonstrated in their achievement of the Assessment Criteria.
In exceptional circumstances, it may be appropriate to depart from the standard scoring model. This should be on an individual basis so that the maximum Teaching and Researcher Development score is reduced to 20 with:
- Either option one, Research and Research Leadership up to a maximum of 60 and Service remaining at a maximum of 20 points;
- Or option two, Research and Research Leadership remaining at a maximum of 50 but with Service up to a maximum of 30 points.
The table below provides the details of the alternative scoring models available. More information on when it is appropriate to depart from the standard scoring model can be found here.
