Professors provide academic leadership to the University, primarily through demonstrating and fostering excellence in research, teaching, professional activities and policy development at a variety of levels – within the academic discipline, within the academic unit, within the institution and within the wider community.
Professorial leadership is linked to a record of scholarly and professional achievement in the relevant discipline. Professors are usually recognised at an international level as leading authorities in their field. In most circumstances professorial leadership extends to community affairs, particularly those related to the discipline, and in professional, commercial and industrial sectors where appropriate.
