Associate Professor 1

Research

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, 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 completed trajectories should include one or more PhD students that were not yet counted for the promotion to Associate Professor 2.

The staff member describes which grants have been (successfully) applied for. Any funding received jointly as part of a consortium must include a clear overview of the candidate's own role in the acquisition of this funding as well as which part of the total funding the candidate received through the application for his or her own research (only this part of the application must be included when calculating the total amount of research funds received by the candidate). A part of the funding should have been acquired after the promotion to Associate Professor 2.

In case the staff member does not fully meet the quantitative funding criterion, they should also provide a brief overview of grant applications that were not awarded, including how they were assessed, to demonstrate that they have made sufficient efforts. In addition, the candidate should describe the funding limitations that apply to their field of research, and what alternative alternative/additional routes they chose to safeguard a viable group (e.g. scholarship students, double doctorate agreements, interdisciplinary projects, MSC Fellows). Finally, the candidate should indicate which substantial external grant(s) or other forms of external funding they have acquired at an earlier stage of their career, where 'substantial' refers to grants from which in total at least one PhD student or postdoc was financed.

Education

The candidate demonstrates having spent 40% 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 30% of their working hours on teaching.

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 or the university.
