Key Dates
Promotion to Level B
Applications for promotion to Level B (Lecturer/Research Fellow) can be lodged anytime during the year. Normally, you will be advised of the outcome within 21 days of the Approver(s) receiving your application unless they request further time. Successful promotions usually take effect from the date the promotion application is approved.
Promotion to all other levels
Monash is preparing a series of improvements to the Academic Promotion process. From feedback we have received from staff, it is apparent that the process takes longer than is needed, is more complex than it ought to be, and the overall experience for candidates should be better. We also expect to reduce some of the administrative burden on those serving on Promotion Committees.
To complete the planned improvements, we will be altering the timeline and supporting documentation. Further details about the 2027 'round' will be shared with staff as soon as they are available.
If you wish to apply for promotion in the 2027 round, you can begin preparing by arranging a Summative Peer Review of teaching and updating your research data in Pure.
Applications for promotion to Levels C and D (including Associate Professor in Indonesia) and Professor can only be lodged during the academic promotion round, with application links accessible only while the round is open. Successful promotions take effect on 1 July in the year following application submission.
Non-faculty applications must align with a faculty. Applicants should consult with their Director of Centre/Institute about the most relevant faculty to align their research and then contact their promotion coordinator to facilitate the application assessment with the relevant faculty Dean.
CDPAE academics, please refer to the Academic Promotion procedure for more information.
Information Sessions
Where a faculty has scheduled an information session, we encourage staff to attend so they are clear on faculty expectations/process.
These sessions were recorded, please contact the Promotions Coordinator for a copy of the recording.
