As part of the process agreed between University management and UCU, Associate Lecturers carrying out work for the University over the agreed threshold are being invited to apply to convert to a fractional or full academic contract.
To be eligible, you must have completed over 100 hour’s work per year for the preceding three academic years (2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15) in the subject area in which you wish to apply for conversion. If you are eligible, you will be sent an email advising you to meet with your line manager, or subject group leader, to discuss submitting an application.
In order to convert, there is a requirement for a continuing business need for your skills and experience within the Faculty. We recommend you have a meeting ahead of submitting an application, in order to determine whether an opportunity exists.
If you do not receive an email by Thursday 28 January but think you might meet the criteria, please contact Vicky Rose on ext: 6160 or email: v.rose@shu.ac.uk.
The deadline for applications is 10am on Wednesday 10 February. Conversion Panels will look at the applications received for conversion in April 2016.
If you require any further information please contact Vicky Rose in Human Resources or speak to a UCU representative. There is also information available on the staff intranet which explains the process for Conversion.
