Research Fellows

The University has implemented a scheme of Position Classification Standards and Promotional Criteria for Research Fellows.

The Standards and Criteria are available as a downloadable RTF file, or from the Office of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation).

Promotions -

Promotion shall be on the basis of merit. Ability and achievement are the principal factors with primary but not sole consideration given to performance since appointment or promotion to the current designation at the University.

The minimum requirement for promotion shall be that the candidate meets the skills base recognised for the staff level concerned.
