Associate Professor 1
The staff member satisfies the criteria for promotion to Associate Professor 2 as well as the following:
Impact
-
In the five years preceding the appraisal, the staff member has achieved substantial results in at least one of the aforementioned four types of impact that go beyond the criteria for Associate Professor 2.
Research
-
In the five years preceding the appraisal, the staff member was responsible for the supervision of at least 2 PhD students in the staff member’s own research line who have completed their theses.
-
The staff member has acquired a substantial amount of external research funding for their own group as principal investigator (PI) or as co-PI, totaling at least EUR 225,000 since their appointment as Associate Professor 2 or EUR 450,000 in the past five years. (It is possible to diverge from the quantitative criterion in exceptional cases if the funds available in the staff member’s academic field have been insufficient and the staff member has made sufficient and good attempts to acquire external funding, while the prospering of the research group has been ensured using a different strategy, and the candidate has at an earlier stage proven to be able to acquire substantial amounts of external funding.)
Education
-
The staff member spends on average 40% of their working hours on teaching (including teaching development), to be calculated according to FSE standards. (This criterion overrides the criterion regarding teaching time associated with the promotion to Associate Professor 2.)
Organization
-
The staff member is successfully fulfilling a leadership/management role within the faculty or the university, beyond their own research unit.
How to substantiate
Impact
The staff member describes the successes for the relevant type of impact in a similar way as required for the promotion to Associate Professor 2.
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 overview should include one or more PhD students that were not yet counted for the promotion to 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).
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.
