PRINCIPAL LECTURER PROMOTIONS

During 2010 the University substantially reviewed and revised the procedure and criteria for internal promotions for Readers and Principal Lecturers to the PL1 and PL2 pay scales.

The revisions were approved by Academic Board in December 2010 in line with the recommendations made by SMT following the 2009 Staff Survey.

The revised process recognises the need for greater transparency and clarity of requirements, reflected in the move to a 2 stage process, involvement of Human Resources & Organisational Development in management and co-ordination of applications and strengthened criteria linked to the role profiles developed as part of the National Pay Framework.

The revisions also recognise the different contributions and achievements made by those staff wishing to focus on Research and Knowledge Exchange or Learning and Teaching by providing alternative routes for promotion to either Reader (Research and Knowledge Exchange) or Principal Lecturer (Learning and Teaching).

The timetable for 2011/12 applications is set out below. Meanwhile potential applicants can download and read the regulations and guidance in full before submitting applications.
