  1. Insights on the Tenure Application Process Nathan Grant Smith, Ph.D. Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology

  2. The Lead-Up • Keep your CV up to date! • Bookmark the Secretariat’s Office website for tenure forms, including key dates and instructions: http://www.mcgill.ca/secretariat/tenureandpromotion/tenure/forms/ • Make sure you’re using the most up-to-date forms • If going up early, must speak to Chair/Dean/Director of Libraries (by April 15) • Note that if tenure is not awarded, candidate will go up again at normal time • Identify external reviewers • Provide rationale for why they’re suitable: give a blurb about their expertise, their accomplishments (similar to what you’d include in a grant application)

  3. The Application • Get examples from your unit • Use reappointment dossier as a starting point • Separate statements for research, teaching, and service • Teaching does not go in the external file • Highlight your student’s accomplishments; their good work reflects positively on you • Funding (CIHR, SSHRC, NSERC, etc.) • Awards • Leadership activities • Note when you’ve published/presented with students

  4. The Application • Have senior colleagues provide feedback • Compile • Teaching evaluations • Course outlines • PDFs of publications • Awards • Service-related documents (e.g., masthead of journals for which you serve on the editorial board) • Anything else that provides evidence of your success (e.g., funding notifications, newsletter articles, press coverage)

  5. The Minutiae • Become an expert at using Adobe Acrobat Pro (Google should be your friend) • Electronic portfolio requires separate PDFs for each component • int_SmithN_CV.pdf • int_SmithN_TeachingPortfolio.pdf • Submit by putting all the files onto a flash drive • These details come from the Secretariat’s website

  6. The Follow-Up • You may add material related to research to the tenure dossier until November 15 • I did this via a cover letter outlining any new presentations/publications with evidence attached • Then you wait (and celebrate being finished) • Final decision comes in May

  7. Thanks and Good Luck! Nathan Grant Smith, Ph.D. 514-398-3454 nathan.smith@mcgill.ca
