How do I develop a strong case for professorship?
This session will help participants to develop an understanding of how to build a strong case for professorship. It will provide an insight into what evidence is required and how this evidence can best be presented beyond lists of publications and research grants commonly found on an academic CV.
Criteria for determining whether an academic has an international reputation will also be discussed along with examples of personal statements
