AssocProfRecruitment2015
Working group to recruit AssocProf + Lecturers
- Goal / timeline:
- 2015-04-06: Deadline for applications: we received 30 AssocProf applications and 24 Lecturer applications from a total of 45 individuals.
- 2015-04/05: Review by external experts
- 2015-06-01: Short-listing meeting for the ST seniors + recruitment group (providing input to central AK)
- 2016-06-02: Short-list decision by Chalmers central employment committee (AK)
- 2015-06-18/30: Lectures + interviews + decision
- 2015-08-15: Prel. new employees in place (+-3 months depending on candidate availability)
Pre-screening (done 2015-04-14)
Chalmers guidelines suggests pre-screening of applicants so that the external reviewers get a maximum of 15 applicants to evaluate. In our case we had 30 AssocProf applications and 24 Lecturer applications so a recruitment group subset (Mary, Andrei, Gerardo, Ana, Patrik) suggested, and AK decided on a selection of 15 + 13 applications to send to external reviewers.
Expert reviews (done 2015-05-31)
For the AssocProf ad two subject experts and one pedagogical expert were asked to evaluate and rank the pre-screened candidates.
For the Lecturer ad one subject expert and one pedagogical expert were asked to evaluate and rank the pre-screened candidates.
Short-listing (2015-06-02)
Based on the expert reviews and our own reading of the applications, the ST-division seniors + the recruitment group met 2015-06-01 at 13.15 to propose a short-list of candidates to interview for each position. Then the central AK decided (with MaSh, AnSa, AnBo, JoKa present, 2015-06-02 10.50-11:30 in Kugghjulet, AoS-huset, Chalmersplatsen 4, J-berg) and invited the short-listed candidates for the interview days.
Lectures + interviews (June 18 + 30)
We have scheduled the two interview days in the second half of June (2015-06-18 + 2015-06-30). Each short-listed applicant will be asked to give a trial lecture and there will be interviews. The lectures are open but the interviews are conducted by just the central AK + a few representatives from the department. For the interviews we need to have
- prefekt or pro-prefekt
- HR-specialist (Sofie)
- Div.head + a few others from the division
The end result of these days is a ranking of the top candidates for each position. The final decisions for all the positions will be taken after the last interview day.
