Nomination Procedures

Nominations for professorial appointments may be submitted to the Vice-Chancellor. Such nominations will normally be submitted by a head of school through the appropriate dean, but in the event that a suitable nominee comes to the attention of the Vice-Chancellor in some other way, the nomination will be referred through the appropriate head of school and dean as the first step in determining the candidate's suitability.

Nominations should be supported, where possible, by the following:

• a brief summary of the basis for the claim that the nominee is of international standing, has achieved eminence in his/her field, has demonstrated leadership qualities and would be judged as outstanding if being assessed for an advertised chair in his/her field at the University;
• a copy of the nominee's curriculum vitae, including details of publications;
• the names of at least three referees, including addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers and email address;
• the names of approximately ten possible assessors of international standing in the discipline concerned, including addresses, telephone and facsimile numbers and email addresses. (To ensure a balanced perspective, it is important that both genders are represented in the list of names.)
