The role of professor represents the highest academic recognition and grade conferred by the University, and staff in professorial roles are expected to be able to demonstrate ongoing performance that is unequivocally excellent in your field, and act as an ambassador in support and promotion of the University’s global academic standing and reputation.
Professorial staff are expected to have national and international recognition, reputation and profile for outstanding current work in your field; have a track record of sustained excellence in terms of outcomes, outputs and impact from your work, and provide academic leadership in your discipline, both within the University and externally.
Staff in these roles may be focussed on (a) research; (b) enterprise and knowledge transfer; and/or (c) learning, teaching and pedagogy. However normally staff at this level would be expected to be making a substantive contribution in at least two of these categories, and would typically be contributing to all of them to some degree.
