Applying to become an Associate Professor

I am thinking of applying to become an Associate Professor

Research is central to the University of Northampton’s (UON) strategic direction, and Associate Professors are an important part of this. The Associate Professor programme was created to recognise excellence in Research, Learning and Teaching, and Enterprise at UON. This section focusses on the research strand of this programme.

Here, you will find a range of resources and information to help you in thinking through whether applying to become an Associate Professor is the right step for you, and on how you can develop yourself to give you the best possible change of success.

We have put together a range of resources and information to support you in developing your research skills and experience in the lead up to taking this step, if you choose to. Here you’ll find some development outcomes to help you think about how you can get involved and learn more about research.

We have also provided some example PDR objectives, embedded in some broader discussion topics support conversations with your line manager. You’ll also find some useful development activities and resources, and a ‘who’s who’ of useful contacts within the University to support you in broadening your support network.

We are planning to build a bank of good practice examples for colleagues who want to get involved in research in the future, and the resources here will be continuously updated.

We hope you find this information useful. You can provide feedback on this research development feedback form at any time that suits you.
