Academic promotion round dates and information sessions
Key dates for this year's academic promotion round have now been set. Applications for promotion to levels C to E will be accepted during the University Promotion Round 9 May – 1 July 2016.
In order to help potential candidates (teaching and research, education-focused and research-only staff) prepare their applications, a series of information sessions will be conducted across faculties and campuses.
New Learning and Teaching Criteria
This year, candidates involved in teaching will formulate their Education case using new learning and teaching criteria. This is the first stage of the phasing in of the new Education Performance Standards, which will occur in 2017.
Monash HR and the Office of the Vice-Provost (Learning & Teaching) have collaborated closely to implement the new learning and teaching criteria into the academic promotion process. The Office of the Vice-Provost (Learning and Teaching) will attend all academic promotion information sessions to advise candidates on how the new criteria will apply, and candidates involved in teaching are strongly encouraged to attend.
Academic Promotion Information Session for Women
To support the University’s enduring commitment to gender equity, the Academic Promotion Information Session for Women will again be held in 2016.
This popular event is run specifically for female academic staff and discusses the particular challenges and approaches for women seeking promotion. Professor Edwina Cornish, Provost and Senior Vice-President, will open the event and the session will include a panel of guest speakers who have been successfully promoted in previous years and/or have experience on promotion committees. Professor Darrell Evans, Vice-Provost (Learning and Teaching) will also attend to discuss the new learning and teaching criteria.
In additional to this session, female academics are also encouraged to attend a faculty-based session for faculty-specific advice.
Details of the session are:
Date: Tuesday 15 March 2016
Time: 10.00am – 12.00pm (with morning tea from 9.45am)
Venue: Council Chambers, Chancellery Building A, Building 27,Chancellor's Walk (formerly Building 3A), Clayton campus.

Faculty Academic Promotion Information Sessions
Faculty information sessions will explain the promotion process in detail and provide prospective candidates with faculty-specific advice. Key speakers, including Associate Deans (Education) and (Research) and successful promotion candidates will discuss the expectations and requirements in their particular discipline and share their experiences and strategies for promotion.
Non-faculty academic staff are encouraged to attend a session conducted by the faculty most relevant to the candidate’s discipline, and can contact Ms Sam Dadash, Senior Advisor, Policy & Academic Promotion, for further information.
