How to prepare for this application
- Map your work onto one of the five named core areas explicitly. A strong marketing record that fits none of them is a weaker application than a narrower one that fits squarely
- Choose your ten marked publications to make an argument rather than to show a total; the review committee reads those, not the full list
- The teaching portfolio carries real weight at associate level — documented pedagogical qualifications are a stated requirement, not a nice-to-have
- PhD supervision is listed as a duty. Say what you have supervised, or how you would approach it if you have not yet
- Stakeholder engagement is named explicitly. Concrete work with firms, public bodies or industry associations belongs in the cover letter
- Set out a funding plan: external funding acquisition is part of the job description here
