[Academic] Fwd: Senior Academic Promotion autumn 2019

[Paul McKenna]

Dear All,

Further to the email below regarding the University's schedule for 
consideration of senior academic promotion cases, this email provides a 
summary of the Departmental process for considering the readiness of 
potential cases and the relevant deadlines for the next round.

The Academic Professional Appointments Panel (APAP) meets twice a year, 
normally in March and October, to consider promotion cases. Potential 
cases from within the Department are considered at a meeting of the 
Physics Professorial Advisory Group (PAG), scheduled in advance of each 
APAP meeting. Staff considered by the PAG to have a strong enough case 
to go forward to the Faculty sift panel are invited to complete the APAP 
application form, with support provided by a senior academic (usually a 
member of the PAG).

The next PAG meeting is on the morning of 7th August.  If you wish to be 
considered for promotion via the next round of APAP, please discuss this 
with your line manager in the first instance and complete the relevant 
attached Self-Assessment Form. This will assist you to critically assess 
your readiness (you will have much of the information needed via your 
ADR form). If you decide to put your case forward for this APAP round, 
please send your completed Self-Assessment Form and CV to me by 2pm on 
6th August for consideration at the PAG meeting. Please note that the 
self-assessment doesn't need to be a detailed narrative (bullet points 
are fine), but should provide the key evidence in support of each 
self-assessment score.

I will invite staff recommended by the PAG to go forward to the Faculty 
sift stage to submit the full APAP application form and supporting 
documentation to me by 21st August, to give me time to consider the full 
case and to write supporting statements prior to the Faculty deadline.

Note that in a change to the process at Faculty level this year, I will 
be present at the Faculty panel when our cases are discussed and so I 
should be able to input in terms of strengthening cases going forward 
from the Faculty sift.

Best wishes,

Paul

To: All members of academic professional staff

/(not including teaching staff only because I can’t find a distribution 
list at this minute!)/

Please note that the schedule for consideration of senior* academic 
promotion cases is available at:

https://www.strath.ac.uk/hr/careerpathways/academicprofessionalstaff/academic_promotion/

/* to grade 8 and above/

The first deadline shown in that schedule is submission by HoDs to the 
Dean by 6 Sep 2019.  In practice, there will be a deadline ahead of that 
in your dept.

If you are considering applying for promotion I suggest you look at the 
“Science guidance on preparation of a case for senior academic 
promotion” which I have just uploaded to 
https://moss.strath.ac.uk/science/Resources/Forms/AllItems.aspx?InitialTabId=Ribbon%2ERead&VisibilityContext=WSSTabPersistence. 
This complements the guidance provided by the University on the website 
above.

Kind regards
