B/3.3 Privately funded academic positions |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3.3.1 Creation of positions 3.3.1 Creation of positionsThe Vice-Chancellor approves the creation of privately funded academic positions at Level E (professor), and the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) approves positions at Levels C - D (senior lecturer and associate professor). These positions are funded by industry, commerce or statutory authorities, and may be named after sponsoring organisations at the discretion of the Vice-Chancellor or, where appropriate, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). Duties and responsibilities of staff in privately funded positions must be consistent with the development and reputation of QUT and the relevant school and faculty. The position must be in an area in which QUT either has already established or intends to establish a reputation. The creation of privately funded academic positions is negotiated through the Development Office. There are specific requirements for committing and administering funds for this purpose (see G/2.1 ). Sponsored appointments are normally advertised and filled in accordance with QUT policy on recruitment and selection. However, when funding for a sponsored position is dependent upon the appointment of a nominated person, the matter shall be referred to the Vice-Chancellor or where appropriate the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) for approval to proceed. Upon such approval, the appropriate selection panel shall be constituted to determine whether the nominee meets the selection criteria for appointment and to make a recommendation on appointment to the Vice-Chancellor or where appropriate the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). 3.3.2 Naming of positionsThe University will consider the naming of a "Chair" position in recognition of an organisation which is a benefactor when that organisation normally provides 100% of the salary cost of a Level E position, but less may be considered in exceptional circumstances. The position would be known as the < sponsor's name > Chair in < academic / research area > . The University will consider the naming of other positions in recognition of an organisation which is a benefactor when that organisation normally provides 100% of the salary cost of a position, but less may be considered in exceptional circumstances. The position would be known as the < sponsor's name > < position title > in < academic / research area > . The University will consider the naming of an academic or research only position in recognition of an organisation which is a benefactor when that organisation contributes less than 100% of cost, usually no less than 40%. The position would be known as the < position title > in < academic / research area > sponsored by < sponsor's name > . 3.3.3 Conditions of employmentAn appointee to a sponsored position is employed under such conditions as pertain to the particular mode and level of the appointment. 3.3.4 ReportingThe Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) reports to the Vice-Chancellor as required.
