The successful candidate will demonstrate an exceptional record of excellence in research, innovative scholarship and teaching. Excellence in research will be demonstrated through a record of sustained, high-impact publications in leading international and discipline-related refereed journals as first and senior responsible author; competitive, national grants as principal investigator; the current and projected program of research; invited presentations at significant conferences; distinguished awards and accolades and other noteworthy activities that contribute to the visibility and prominence of the discipline; as well as strong endorsements by referees of high standing.
