Women in Research webinar: Promotions and other competitive processes: How do I gear up and go for it?

Academic promotions are often a rigorous and daunting process. Academics are expected to demonstrate excellence in multiple aspects such as teaching, research and service to the university. Increasingly, it can be important to also show how you have made a difference and had impact beyond academia.

To be considered for a promotion, or a competitive award such as a fellowship, simply listing past accomplishments on a resume is not adequate. Building a compelling case for promotion requires a strategic and thoughtful approach. How do you navigate the competitiveness of the process and craft an application that truly stands out?

In this upcoming webinar, lead of the Women in Research initiative, ARC Laureate Fellow and John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker (Curtin University) will share her evidence-based tips to gear yourself up for that next step in your academic career.

She will be joined by Professor Jolanda Jetten (Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences, The University of Queensland) and Professor Amy Tian (School of Management and Marketing, Curtin University). Both will offer valuable insights and reflections from their experiences serving on academic promotion panels, as well as from their own promotion journeys.
