Associate Professor 1

Education

The candidate demonstrates having spent 50% or more time on teaching and teaching innovation in the previous years. This criterion overrides the criterion regarding teaching time associated with the promotion to Associate Professor 2, which was that the staff member spends on average 60% of their working hours on teaching.

Research

The staff member describes the research programme and their role in its design, execution, and further development. The staff member also describes who else are involved in the research programme and how it connects to other activities in their group and institute. The staff member demonstrates the viability of the research programme via indicators such as incoming students (BSc/MSc), PhD students, postdocs and visiting scientists who are producing a continuous stream of output recognized by peers.

The staff member gives an overview of the number of recruited and supervised PhD students. The staff member briefly elaborates on the status of each of the projects and briefly elaborates on the number of recruited and supervised PhD students, including stage of completion and examples for successes of projects (e.g. evidence of recognition such as conferences, poster presentations, publications, outreach activities, thesis defenses). The staff member also clarifies their role in the PhD trajectories: to satisfy the criterion, the staff member must have been the primary supervisor of at least one PhD student that worked in the staff member's research programme. The completed trajectories should include one or more PhD students that were not yet counted for the promotion to Associate Professor 2.

Organization

The staff member provides a description as well as a brief self-evaluation of the leadership and management roles that they have fulfilled in the previous years. Examples of such roles are the chairpersonship of working groups or committees on the level of the faculty of the university.
