Dr Aida Suarez-Gonzalez - Getting yourself a senior academic promotion

Dr Aida Suárez-Gonzalez narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog Aida discusses the process of senior academic promotions (grade 9 and 10) in UK higher education institutions, focusing on the underrepresentation of women in such positions. She shares tips and learnings from her own experience, advising readers to prepare in advance, organise their merits according to the framework, attend workshops, download official forms, seek examples of successful applications, be aware of gender bias, craft a strong personal statement, aim for the minimum requirements rather than perfection, seek support from experienced colleagues, and be mindful of internal deadlines to increase their chances of success in the promotions process.
