#Nominations

Nominations for clinical and adjunct appointments, including appointments to any Centre that forms part of a School, will ordinarily be made by either the Head of the School or the Dean of the Faculty. Where a Centre sits under a Faculty, the Centre’s Director or the Dean of the Faculty is responsible for the nomination. Nominations for a title below that of Adjunct or Clinical Associate Professor are considered by the Dean, who may refer any particular nomination to the Faculty Adjunct and Clinical Titles Committee. Any disagreements will be resolved at the level of the Vice-Chancellor.

The nomination is to include, where appropriate:

1. details of the nominee’s –
   • professional and academic qualifications;
   • academic achievements;
   • achievements in clinical work and research;
   • professional/career achievements;
2. justification for the appointment in relation to the nominee’s contribution to teaching, research and community activities integral to the University; and
3. a recommendation on the level of appointment.

Nominations can occur at any time and are to be considered on a case by case basis. A staff member in one faculty cannot be made a clinical or adjunct staff member in another faculty. This provision is not intended to prevent cross-faculty clinical or adjunct appointments for non-UWA employees under terms agreed upon by the relevant deans. In such situations, one dean has responsibility for nomination and for recording the joint agreement.
