We don't make an ordered ranking of all the candidates. Rather, members of the personnel committee look for candidates who seem especially good, good enough to be brought to the attention of the whole committee. | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 7:45 | comment | added | george | A middle-tier university for the computer science domain, as far as I could tell; my point of reference is this theguardian.com/education/ng-interactive/2014/jun/03/…. I could not tell the focus because in the job specification was stating that the duties included both research and teaching. I would guess my CV is adequate because I saw in their site that there are lecturers in the university with more and with less publications than mine. | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 7:38 | comment | added | Phorce | Well, was it a top middle or low ranking University? Were they focused on reaching over teaching etc.. It might be that you are applying for top Universities and your C.V. is not strong enough. I know someone who had to apply for a "up and coming" University, in order to build their C.V. after getting rejected from the higher universities. | |
