The Panel which considers those applications also reviews applications for Visiting appointments, the process for which is described in Section B below.

Applicants should send an electronic copy of their application, plus seven complete stapled copies of their current CV (to include their name at the top of the first page) and a statement supporting their case, both in the format below, to Ann Phillips, HR Services (a.phillips@uel.ac.uk) by Friday 21 February CASE STATEMENT
2 3.1 Applicants are advised to prepare a case statement, which clearly indicates their experience and highlights specific aspects of their CV, conscious that the Panel will be interested in the quality of the submission as well as the quantity. Direct reference to the following criteria is advised. 3.2 The Professorship and Readership Panel must interpret their terms of reference widely and in full generality in order to safeguard the reputation of UEL and also the standing of its Professors or Readers as people of outstanding academic achievement. 3.3 Without prejudice to the generality mentioned in 3.2, the Professorship and Readership Panel will normally have regard to the following aspects of an individual s case: A.

Evidence of clinical teaching, if appropriate: evidence of clinical relevance, demonstrated by linking teaching with evidence based health care B. CONTRIBUTION TO RESEARCH AND SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY Sustained output of high quality (it is desirable but not essential to have a PhD in applying for promotion to Reader or Professor): Please note that research and scholarly work yet to be published or in preparation needs to be referred to in a separate section of your application titled Work in Progress. Such work will not be regarded by the Panel as more than indicative and will have secondary consideration compared to your published and reviewed work.
4 joint or sole authorship of research publications, publications in refereed journals, and other articles, papers and conference proceedings, particularly with regard to the status of the publication and the role of referees in its assessment; design portfolios; musical compositions and creative artefacts; other nationally/internationally recognised research-based articles in refereed publications; exhibitions, performances; publication of book(s); regular presentations of research findings at major national/international conferences; organisation of major international academic conferences/meetings; award of medals, prizes or other academic distinctions by learned societies.

The above lists (in to 3.3.4) are not intended to be exhaustive and may vary depending on the applicant's discipline. It is important to bear in mind
6 that the Panel may promote someone purely on their contribution under (A), (B), (C) or (D) above, or a combination of two or three of those categories. 3.4 In assessing academic achievement it will be important to determine the professional standing of the individual nationally and internationally and the individual s specific contribution where there has been collaboration with others. 3.5 The Professorship and Readership Panel will need to be satisfied of the standing of an individual both in terms of past academic record and of current activities. 3.6 On completion of their draft application, candidates are strongly advised to seek guidance from an academic colleague who has already attained the level of a Professor or Reader, including members of the Professorship and Readership Panel as appropriate. Peer comments at this stage are extremely valuable and will assist candidates to present a clear, well-rounded application. 4. PROCESS FOR CONSIDERING INTERNAL APPLICATIONS Stage 1: If the applicant feels they can demonstrate that they are able to provide enough evidence of outputs to apply for promotion to Reader or Professor they should draft their application and then discuss and review with the Dean. The Deans will be required to approve all applications before they are formally submitted to the Professorship/Readership Panel. Stage 2: References will then be requested from the external academic referees nominated by the candidate and from the referees independently recommended by the Dean of School. Deans need to obtain the agreement of those referees before recommending them. An external professor will also be a member of the Panel. Stage 3: The Panel will consider written submissions approved by the Dean with the references supplied and the comments from the external Professor and decide on the appointment based on this information. The candidate will not normally be called to meet the Panel. The Professorship/Readership Panel decision must be unanimous. In the case of
7 applications for appointment as Professors of UEL, where the Panel does not approve appointment as a Professor, the Panel may immediately consider appointment as a Reader where the candidate does not already hold this appointment. Stage 4: Successful candidates will normally receive written confirmation of the Panel s decision within seven working days of the final meeting. The promotion to a Reader or Professor will take effect from 1st October Unsuccessful candidates will be given on request detailed feedback by a member of the Panel. The decision will also be confirmed by the Chair of the Panel in writing normally within seven working days. Unsuccessful candidates may reapply at a future date but normally a period of at least two years should elapse before a fresh application is made. 5.

In conferring the title of Professor regard shall be had to the person's proven standing in the relevant subject or profession, as established by outstanding contributions to its advancement through publications, creative work, clinical activity, public policy or other appropriate forms of scholarship, and through academic leadership and teaching development. Other contributions to the work of UEL, learned societies and other relevant bodies will also be taken into account. In conferring the title of Reader regard shall be had to the person's proven standing in the relevant subject or profession as established by contributions which are significant and judged to hold very considerable promise For the avoidance of doubt, the case for promotion to Professor or Reader must be based on excellence and can be focussed on any one of research, learning and teaching, or knowledge transfer and wider contribution In assessing academic achievement it will be important to determine the applicant s specific contribution where there has been collaboration with others The Professorship and Readership Panel will need to be satisfied of the standing of an individual, both in terms of past academic record and of current activities. 6 PROCEDURES Existing Staff 6.1 Consideration of candidates for Professorships or Readerships from
11 within the existing academic staff of UEL will normally take place on an annual basis. 6.2 Each individual who applies will provide detailed curriculum vitae (including a detailed list of publications), the names, designations and current postal and addresses of two academic or professional referees, together with their current phone numbers, and such information or other evidence as the individual determines to support his or her case. 6.3 The Panel will only consider applications that have been reviewed, and approved for submission by the relevant Dean. The Panel will also seek, via the Dean of school, the written opinions of two additional external referees who are subject/discipline specialists from a list of names provided by the candidate s Dean of School. The applicant will not be called for interview by the Panel. 6.4 Exceptionally the Panel may wish to seek further advice, guidance or information and in these circumstances the notification of the final decision to the candidate may be delayed by a few days. 6.5 Applications (seven stapled copies and an electronic copy) should be sent to Ann Phillips (a.phillips@uel.ac.uk), HR Services, Duncan House by Friday 21 February SECTION B: PROCEDURE FOR VISITING APPOINTMENTS 1 VISITING PROFESSORS OR READERS 1.1 The conferment of the title Visiting Professor, or Reader, will be conferred by the Professorship and Readership Panel acting upon the written recommendation of the Dean of School where the visitor will be located. Applications are made by the Dean via an application to the Panel via HR Services; the Panel normally meets annually. 1.2 Visiting appointments will be for a fixed term not exceeding five years, but may be renewed upon application. In considering an application for the
12 renewal of a Visiting Professorship, or Readership, the Professorship and Readership Panel will take into account the active contribution made over the period of appointment by the Visitor to the School. 1.3 Guidance on criteria The Professorship and Readership Panel will interpret its terms of reference widely and holistically in order to safeguard the reputation of our University and also the standing of our Professors or Readers as persons of outstanding academic achievement Bearing in mind paragraph above the Professorship and Readership Panel will normally have regard to the following aspects of an individual s case. While recognising that candidates will have a different balance of the three aspects listed below, the Panel will, however, expect to see at least one of the three aspects fully represented: academic leadership, demonstrated by significant educational development initiatives; contributions to the advancement of learning through substantial scholarship or research, and; the professional standing of the individual nationally and internationally. In conferring the title of Visiting Professor regard shall be had to the person's proven standing in the relevant subject or profession as established by outstanding contributions to its advancement through publications, creative work, clinical activity, public policy or other appropriate forms of scholarship, and through academic leadership and teaching development. Other contributions to the work of our University, learned societies and other relevant bodies may also be taken into account. In conferring the title of Visiting Reader regard shall be had to the person's proven standing in the relevant subject or profession as established by contributions which are significant and judged to hold very considerable promise The provisions of paragraph apply except that, in the case of Professors or Readers in these categories whose normal place of work is not an academic institution, the standing of such Visiting Professors or Readers may be judged against professional criteria that are comparable to (but different from) academic criteria. If the individual is employed in industry (interpreted in its widest sense) the Professorship and Readership Panel will normally have regard
13 to the following aspects of an individual s case: the position held in industry and its comparability in standing with positions held by academic leaders in our University; contributions made to the standing of the individual s profession, and; evidence of ability to make contributions to the academic work of our University broadly comparable with those of University Professors or Readers In assessing academic achievement it will be important to determine the individual s specific contribution where there has been collaboration with others The Professorship and Readership Panel will need to be satisfied of the standing of an individual both in terms of past academic record and of current activities. 1.4 Procedure The award of the title Honorary Visiting Professor or Reader will be considered by the Professorship and Readership Panel The Dean of School must provide to the Panel a written application setting out the rationale for the appointment, taking into account, as appropriate to the case, the criteria set out in paragraphs and above References will not normally be taken up and the applicant will not be called for interview. The Panel will make its decision on the basis of the written application alone. Where questions arise that cannot be fully resolved at the meeting at which the Panel is considering the application, the Panel can, at its discretion, agree that the title may be conferred by the Chair by Chair s action subject to the satisfactory resolution of the outstanding matters rather than require the application to be resubmitted to a future meeting Where the proposed Honorary Professor or Reader already holds a similar substantive title conferred by another university, the Chair may, as appropriate, take Chair s action on behalf of the Professorship and Readership Panel to ratify the appointment providing that the appointment is reported to the next formal meeting of the Panel Once approved the Secretary to the Professorship and Readership Panel shall inform the Dean of School, who will be responsible for informing the successful candidate of the decision. The period of the appointment (see
14 paragraph 1.2. above) shall commence from the date of approval of the appointment. 2.
