  2. OVERVIEW • What is the promotion procedure? • The role of the Supervisor. • How does the Performance Management framework influence the Promotion process? • Developing the case for Promotion. • How is the case for Promotion assessed? • Questions

  3. The promotion process • Assess academic staff for their sustained excellence in education, research and service to evaluate their eligibility for promotion • Potential outcome of a performance review in which the staff member has been assessed as demonstrating performance warranting reward.

  4. Who initiates the process? • Supervisors initiate cases for promotion, which are then decided by: • Local Promotions Committee (LPC) for Levels B – D • University Promotions Committee (UPC) for Level E1. • Provisions exist for self-initiated cases. The supervisor still prepares, but cannot “rebut,” the candidate’s case.

  5. Roles of applicants • Participate in the preparation of biennial Statements of Expectations. • Participate in the review of performance against the Statement of Expectations. • Prepare the relevant parts of the case for Promotion. • Attend an interview, if required.

  6. Roles of supervisors • Prepare biennial Statements of Expectations. • Review staff member performance against the Statement of Expectations. • Initiate and prepare the “case for promotion” with assistance from the applicant where performance warrants promotion. • Nominate referees for the applicant.

  7. An application includes: • Case prepared by the supervisor (2xA4). • Statements of contributions (3xA4). • Statement of potential as a Professor (Promotion to E1 only, 1xA4). • Advice about issues that may have diminished opportunity.

  8. Supporting documentation: • Past and current Statement of Expectations. • A list of the 6 most significant works to evidence the research contribution. • Evidence to support evaluation of education contribution. • Evidence to support evaluation of service contribution. • Current CV.

  9. Referees • Nominated by the supervisor. • International-level experts who are qualified to inform the committee about aspects of research, teaching, or service. • Total number is 6 or 10. Number balance should reflect balance of case. • Referee gets all (relevant) parts of application. • The staff member may nominate two referees they do not wish to be contacted. • Avoid nominating research collaborators. ANU staff can report on education and service.

  10. Promotion committees • Grouped by College and Discipline clusters • ANU-wide committee for promotion to Level E1 • Assess the quality of contribution and consider the referees reports. • Judgement based on: • The case made by the staff member and supervisor. • Referee reports. • Interviews.
