The Academic Promotions Process for 2022 opened on 31 January 2022.

All staff who wish to be considered for promotion through the Academic Promotion process should ensure their application form (and associated documentation) should be submitted to the academic.promotions@sussex.ac.uk inbox by 14 March 2022.

Guidance notes, key documents and forms to assist in the preparation of your application are below. Please read this information carefully as applications that do not follow the guidelines may not be considered.

The process and criteria for promotion has only had a couple of minor changes made to it, and as such the advice and guidance sessions recorded last year have been re-posted to help those intending to apply for Promotion this year.

FAQs have also been produced and these can all be found on the advice and guidance page.

If you have any queries which are not addressed in the guidance documents, or on the advice and guidance page, please email academic.promotions@sussex.ac.uk.

Please submit all applications to academic.promotions@sussex.ac.uk by 9am on Monday 14 March 2022.
