Appeal to the VPAA on the concerns raised in School Promotion Committee report by Nitin Kumar Tripathi, PhD Associate Professor, Remote Sensing and GIS FoS / School of Engineering and Technology Asian Institute of Technology I have applied for my promotion to the rank of Professor in the year 2009. Process is extended due to various reasons including floods. Therefore, my CV has gone through several updates. I have submitted my updated CVs few times to the school informing new developments/ activities. I have received your Memo dated 19 September 2013 that recommendation from the school is not positive. In P&P: PA 1-‐2-‐2 (page 2/6) it is mentioned that in case of negative recommendation from the school, “Upon negative recommendation, the Dean communicates the result to the candidate, along with specific recommendations that will help the candidate progress towards promotion”. I would like to put on records that I have never received any such communication from the Dean-‐SET. On the other hand, I was informed verbally around September 2012 that recommendations from the school were alright and forwarded to the VPAA. Now, I am informed about the some points of concerns raised and also the result of voting by 4 committee members that it was For: 2 and Against: 2. I think voting was not negative but as stated not positive either. I would like to submit my explanation to the VPAA regarding points of concerns which have caused this neutral voting and also my updated CV. I will request the VPAA to consider my application in totality and special nature of my research which is largely application based and interdisciplinary in nature. Hereby, I will submit my explanation to all the points of concern and also a research profile and summary sheet related to it. I hope my response will be able to make my achievements much clear to the honorouable members of the FEP. My reply is in three parts: a) Part A: SET Promotion Committee’s Assessment/ Recommendation and my reply b) Part B: Highlights of achievements c) Part C: Updated CV

Part A SET Promotion Committee’s Assessment/ Recommendation and my reply Teaching Assessment is positive as mentioned in the summary. I have been teaching more than the normal teaching load. In last 4 years, I have developed some new courses: Advance Application Development, Spatial Analysis Methods, Remote Sensing and GIS for Disaster Mitigation, Health GIS. I am very happy that most of the students have appreciated. I was very happy to develop the course on health GIS which is unique in this region. I also invited speaker from Faculty of Medicince and IRD France to offer variety from their field experience of using GIS for health. Course turned out to be really engaing and intersting. Assessment report suggests to look into the feedback from students and improve. I am thankful to the committee. Comments from students which are constructive relate to “adding new topics” and also make the question paper different than earlier years. Some students wanted to be exposed to more softwares. Some of the students who take my introductory course on GIS “Geographic Information Systems” are from other field of studies and they normally do not take my other courses in next semester. They feel that more advance topics or high technology developments should be included. Here, I also would like to state that I teach 4-‐5 courses in a year. Advance topics are included in the courses “Advance Application Development”, “Spatial Analysis Methods”, “Health GIS” and “Remote Sensing and GIS for Disaster Mitigation”. Some of the advance topics are being taught by my colleagues which I can not include in my curriculum. However, in every class, I start with some new development that is taking place or showcase a new application. However, I am sensitive to the suggestions by the students and have already taken the steps and added few new topics such as “Geprocessing”, “Cartographic Design”, “Ranking Techniques”. I also, add few topics as information every time when I see some new application or advancement in technology. I have also added two more topics in the miniproject that I give to students and made them free to choose even a new topic to carry out the miniproject. Policy of AIT on flexibility to modify curriculum is really very useful and has allowed me to incorporate few additions which have been very satisfying to me. Students have access to past many years of question papers therefore they feel the similarity. This job was challenging, but I have tried to address this issue as well and changed the question design, pattern and style. From 2013 August semester, I have added some exercises using open source software and Arc GIS 10.1. Some comments are very encouraging where students from other fields have appreciated the course and expressed that they have learned a lot. I am very happy that now many of the students who take GIS courses from other fields are using GIS in their

3-‐19

Masters and Doctoral thesis work. I am also serving as committee members for some of them. Pedagogical Development Assessment is positive. Thank you. I have added 9 new courses and phased out few courses. I was Director for Academic

Quality and Accreditation for 2 years. During that time, I conducted “Research Bench

Marking Workshop” with the help of Elsevier. It went very well with hands on and

discussion sessions to monitor publication profile and link to other researchers working

on similar issues. I have co-‐authored a paper on “Writing and Publishing a Research

Paper in Professional Journals: A Systematic Approach”. This was intended to support

my students and other researchers. In addition, I try to attend workshops organised by

peer space agencies and other mapping organisations to improve my own knowledge. I

attended “Data Democracy Workshop on Climate Change” organised by Council of Earth

Observation Systems (CEOS) and Space agency of Thailand (GISTDA). These workshops

and programs offer knowledge on recent developments which I use for supporting my

research and course material.

Publication Assessment is positive. I have added a summary sheet of latest citation/h-‐index and other accomplishments showing strength of my research work and its impact in terms of awards/ recognition and invitation to deliver Keynote speech and be part of reputed international committees (Part-‐B). Some key indicators are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Key research indicators

I am first author in 9 papers. These are normally from earlier years in IIT Kanpur, India (year 1989-‐2000) when I had no PhD student and these papers largely spinned off from my own PhD Thesis, projects and partly from Master Thesis guided. My research area is application of GIS/ Remote Sensing which demands a team research interm of database development, field work, laboratory testing, questionnaire survey and expertise in application areas. I normally work with my post-‐graduate students and many colleagues for my research work and follow the normal practice to include their names based on their involvement. Therefore, my papers will have two or more names. I have launched peer reviewed Asian Journal of Geoinformatics (AJG) in the year 2001 and later changed it into International Journal of Geoinformatics (IJG) in the year 2005. I did it to have a high quality journal in the field of Geoinformatics from Asian Soil and also thought that this will improve the research enviroenment and give visibility to AIT in the world where I am working. I formed an Association of Geoinformation Technology (AgIT) to support this journal. I am happy to inform that there are more than 600 members comprising of individual and several key organisations. I wish to inform that It was inducted in several databases and from 2011 into the Scopus. Now, it has SNIP from SCIMago as 0.275. This journal is listed as approved journal for publication in several universities including Mahidol University. Being Editor-‐in-‐Chief consumes lot of time but finally gives me satisfaction that I am cruising towards my mission to have a high quality journal in Geoinformatics from Asian soil.

I have published 8 papers in AJG/ IJG during 2001-‐2009. Later, I was informed that I will not get credit for publishing in Int. Journal of Geoinformatics for contract renewal and promotion therefore I have stopped publishing since 2009. Some committee members opined that Dr. Tripathi’s research work appears to be not focussed, which was also observed by one of the reviewers who commented that “he may need to be mentored to concentrate on developing a sharper focus for his research.” Reply This may be the concern from researchers working in science and technology development. They have to work in a narrow and deep research direction to explore something new. They are recognised by a close research fraternity working on same area. I was also doing the same to large extent in my earlier days in IIT Kanpur, India when I was working mainly on image processing, classification of remote sensing images and very little on application. I must state that my impact (H-‐index and Citations) from papers published that time till the year 1990-‐1999 was not high. Later, I joined AIT in the year 2000 and started teaching and conducting research in GIS/ GPS/ Remote sensing and its application. My citations and H-‐Index have started ever since rising. We have significant large number of PhD and Master students. We need to do research alongwith them. I also research and publish papers with project associates for my sponsored projects. This allows me very little time to do my personal research. Till date, I have published 71 papers in International journals. This includes 18 papers orginating from Master Thesis, 42 from PhD thesis, 9 from projects and 2 from personal research with colleagues from other institutions. However, I am thankful to committee and reviewer for this observation which are really important for basic science researchers and technology developers but not for the application scientists and researchers like me. I am presenting my research profile as follows to explain the why I am working in application research but trying to focus on fewer important critical issues such as impact of climate change on environemnt and its influence on human health.

Research Profile Geoinformation Technology provides tools of Remote Sensing, GIS, Global Positioning Systems, and Photogrammetry. I use these tools for “application research” in the fields of environment, agriculture and health. This offers me tremendous scope to interact with experts from various fields and apply these tools for monitoring water quality in surface and sub-‐surface waterbodies, bathymetry, coastal erosion, land suitability for various crops and crop-‐substitution modeling, spatial/ temporal disease surveillance/ hotspot mapping, and other health related applications such as emergency response for trauma assistance. Geoinformation technology has been going through rapid advancements in terms of telecommunication, satellites, sensors, global navigation satellite systems, and powerful desktop/ laptop/ smartphones. I have also tried my best to keep track with these advancement in my last 25 years of academic and research work and developed indoor positioning systems using wLAN, RFID and Bluetooth and related it with supply chain and goods tracking. Currently, I am involved in an important and interesting research related to monitoring the errors in GPS signals due to ionospheric scintillations caused by extreme weather events and solar flares. This is very critical for safe air traffic navigation and also early prediction of extreme weather events. My research focus is on exploration of the impact of climate change on Earth environment and also on the relationship of environmental, climatic and social factors on human health using existing tools of geoinformation technology. In the line with the criteria, the committee agrees that candidate to the rank of Professor must demonstrate that their research achievements have had a recognised impact on the advancement of the knowledge in their subject area. Committee appreciates Dr. Tripathi’s Scopus Citation. Two reviewers commented on less citation in ISI web of science. Reply I have summarised in following sections my recognition / awards and impacts made in scientific community and research institutions. I am happy that my research contributions have made significant recognition in terms of Scopus and Google Scholar metrics as shown below. I am also in several advisory committees from National Space Agencies of Thailand and Pakistan. I have also participated in Japanese Aerospace Agency technical team on Japanese GNSS – QZSS which was organised in UN-‐ESCAP. UN-‐ESCAP has also invited me on several occassions to attend technical advisory meeting related to georeferenced information system for Disaster Risk Reduction. I have recently

7-‐19

contributed in 2013 in theme study report of UN-‐ESCAP by providing some indicator maps for “Building Resilience to major Disasters and Economic Crises”. I have been invited by Korean Society of Surveying, Geodesy, Photogrammetry and Cartography, National University of Singapore, Osaka City University, United Group of Institutions India, IIIT Allahabad, India as Keynote Speaker or Distinguished Scientist which manifests my achievements and impacts in the field of application of geoinformation technology. Following section provides a summary and details are included in the updated CV. ISI web of science is mainly for science journals and has a limited coverage, therefore it may have less citations for my work. Journals related to my work are covered mainly by Scopus and Google Scholar. I have been publishing in high impact journals after I joined AIT therefore I hope citations and H-‐Index will rise further. Some of my papers have been highly downloaded or cited (Table in Part –B). I would like to add that my work related to Health GIS (started since 2005): disease surveillance/ emrgency response system/ online health information system is appreciated highly in this region. This topic is also my passion. I have been invited as keynote speaker on this topic in three International conferences. Student Research Supervision Satisfactory I have guided 21 PhD , 93 Masters and 2 Diploma students. Research evaluation is satisfactory. I always motivate them to do systematic research so that the work can be publishable. Sponsored Projects Satisfactory I have conducted several sponsored projects. Around 10 of them are major. Part-‐B lists these 10 projects which are significant in view of funding, exciting research opportunities and also multi-‐country joint research. Institute Service and Others Appreciated. I have some more updates: Worked as Acting Dean (1 July to 30 September 2013) and currently working as the Leader-‐ICT since November 2012. I accepted being the Dean on 1 July, in a critical period, when I was needed to work extra-‐hard to boost the admissions. I did my best in a limited time span and was able to increase the number of Post Graduate admissions to a much higher level than previous year. I was also satisfied that I could expedite contract renewal/ recruitment cases. I did several things such as new MoUs, initiated participatory approach in administration by

8-‐19

starting the SET faculty meetings, initiating a group to boost number of projects, developing an online security surveillance system etc. Three months were very satisfying as I could achieve several things. Since last time when I updated my CV, I have conducted more trainings, workshops (projects) and conferences. I was also task force member for Flood Protection Dyke after floods. Dyke is now ready. There are several other institute and school wide committees and activties that I am involved like security surveillance systems, grants from Indian Government and unified masters and bachelor program. In past, I have worked in various committees or Institute services such as ADRC (4 Years), Faculty Relation Committee, Director-‐ Academic Quality and Accreditation, Coordinator-‐RS&GIS, Associate Dean –SET, Leader-‐ICT, and Actg. Dean. Financial Productivity Satisfactory I was able to generate cumulative surplus during last 4 years (2009-‐2012) and also in this year January-‐June 2013.

Development of New Research Facilities I am very happy that I could develop in year 2010 : SCINDA Research Station in AIT and in Chiang Mai Univeristy with the help of AORD and Boston College. This is unique facility in Southeast Asia to research on Ionosphere Scintillations and their effect on global navigation system accuracy and also relate them with natural extreme events. I also developed the research facility of Kinematic Global Positioning System in year 2011 for centimeter level accuracy mapping in kinematic mode. This is rare in institutions in this regions and also opened many application research areas for students. We also procured in 2009 and developed facilities for terrestrial remote sensing using multi-‐spectro-‐photometer for spectral analysis of earth features. This facility is widely used in teaching and research by my colleagues and me. Recently in 2013, Boston College, USA and USAF have agreed to provide complete set of magnetometer and datalogger and computer system to process the data for augmenting the extreme events monitoring in Thailand and adjoining regions.

Publications in International Journals related to recent focus research areas

Since 2005, I have published 21 papers out of total of 39 papers in International Journals in the area of “Human Health Applications” and “Climate Change and its Impact on Agriculture and Water”. In future, I will like to focus more on these two areas as well. Human Health Applications:

B. Research Projects 1. Brief descriptions of projects

Title: Real-time Spatial Data Logging Device for OpenGIS

Year: 2003-2004,

Sponsor: RTG Budget-Joint Research Project Project Investigator: Dr. Nitin Kumar Tripathi Amount: Baht 970000

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a vital technology for

the implementing e-government. OpenGIS enables spatial data

sharing and system interoperability which leads to data integrity,

timeliness and hinder data replication. User can access updated

data from authorized custodian in real-time. In this research a

low-cost or off-the-shelf data logging devices will be developed

based on mobile phone and handheld computer. Digital camera

and GPS receiver will be integrated into a single device for field

data collection. Spatial data and its attributes can be conveniently

logged and updated into a map server. Updating can be done in

real-time and by synchronization depending on the network

availability. Open Source Software and free software packages

downloadable from Internet e.g. Minnesota MapServer, Java

version 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), PHP will be used. The develop

system will demonstrate rapid and reliable spatial data updating

for many tasks e.g. base map, tourism, environment, agriculture

and livestock.

Status: Completed and Report submitted in 2005


Title: Development of marine and coastal resources database of Thailand

Sponsor: UNEP Dr. K. Ikejima, Principal Investigator Dr. Nitin Kumar Tripathi, Co-investigator

Amount: Baht 2,460, 000

ABSTRACT

To develop the fundamental GIS database for key

components of marine and coastal resources in Thailand,

namely coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass beds,

aqnimals for conservation (e.g. turtles, dugong) and threats

e.g. coastal erosion.

The database will be stored on the server computer for

National Coastal and Marine Information Centre under

DMCR to be shared by many potential users such as

governmental, non-government and researchers to help in

the conservation and coastal zone management.

Title: Water Storage Development Planning for Flood Water Retention for Dry Season Requirements in Chi River Basin

Sponsor: RTG (2006) Project Investigator: Dr. Nitin Kumar Tripathi Amount: Baht 970, 000

ABSTRACTS

Northeast Thailand has always been subjected to floods and

droughts problem and the problems are getting more severe

with increasing water demands, land use change,

deforestation, etc. The Chi river basin is one main river

basin of this region that suffers flood during rainy season

and drought during dry season. This research proposal aims

to develop a methodology to alleviate the floods and

droughts problems of the Chi river basin. A water budget

model for the basin will be developed to find the water

availability and demand. The scarcity of the water during


the drought is the main issue that will be addressed by

finding the locations for the rainwater harvesting structures

using the digital terrain model and the remote sensing data.

Planning the water retention structures will be modelled by

integrating hydrologic model, hydraulic model, remote

sensing and GIS and hierarchy optimisation techniques.

Status: Completed

Title: Business Logistics Management using Integrated RFID and InternetGIS

Year: 2007-2008

Sponsor: CaraCAD Services Co., Ltd., Thailand and RTG Project Investigator: Dr. Nitin Kumar Tripathi Amount: Baht 1800000 (1.8 Million)

ABSTRACTS

Industries involved in manufacturing, warehousing their

products and later distributing to the customers have their

conventional way. The most difficult part is locating the

product at different stages and in most of the cases it

involves manual interference. The conventional process

results in average 60 percent traceability as mentioned in

several cases. This causes delays and inefficiency in product

identification and supply. Few organizations have been

using the bar code method and found it better than prevalent

manual identification. Bar code method also needs human

aided scanning of each product and involves huge time.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has offered a new

approach where the information will be written digitally on

RFID tags (RFID chips) and accessed by RFID Reader.

This is done without scanning each product tag individually.

A whole bunch of products are passed through the RFID

sensors and all the information from each of the tags is read


simultaneously. Not only it is read but also recorded in

computer database.

This proposed project is aimed at furthering this advantage

by integrating it with GIS (Geographic Information Systems)

to enhance the capability in terms of adding “the location”

of product to its inventory record in real time. This will

enable in better traceability and management of inventory,

supply chain and business logistics. The efficacy is

proposed to be enhanced further by putting the information

on intranet or internet by developing the internet GIS based

system. This will be achieved by developing open source

software instead of commercial software.

Title: SOUTH-EAST ASIA CENTRE ON EUROPEAN GNSS FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT (SEAGAL)

Year: 2009-2010

Sponsor: Galileo Space Advisory, European Commission Project Investigator: Dr. Nitin Kumar Tripathi Amount: Euro 76, 000

ABSTRACTS

The main objective of the project is the definition of an

implementation plan for a European GNSS Collaboration Centre in

support of educational, commercial and technical needs in South-

East Asia that “will increasingly be one of the most dynamic

growth engines of the world economy”.

of GNSS in various Southeast Asian countries. Finding out the

emerging applications such as mobile mapping, vehicle tracking,

fleet management, logistics and supply chain etc. Organise

meetings with stake holders on creation of GNSS facilities and

augmenting the use of GNSS technology.


The plan for the creation of the Collaboration Centre foresees also

accompanying awareness actions (2 workshops; Centre Opening

Ceremony) to facilitate the start-up of the Centre and its visibility

as well as to link it to European institutions in order to ease

continuing cooperation and sustainability. The Collaboration

Centre should be set up within this project and start its operation at

the end of the project. Centre will be setup in Hanoi Univ of Tech.

Vietnam. AIT will prepare a status report of GNSS and assist in

various aspects of project implementation along with partner

institutions. AIT shall be organising a workshop in first half of

2010 to spread awareness and also discuss progress and feedbacks.

Abstract

The RISA (Research of Ionospheric Scintillation in Asia) project

intends to contribute for the development of Ionospheric studies in

South-East Asia by using space-geodetic systems, in particular by

analyzing data acquired using dedicated or available GNSS (Global

Navigation Satellite Systems) networks.

This proposal intends to contribute directly for the current activities

carried out in the framework of the SCINDA (Scintillation Network

Decision Aid) project, which is being implemented by AFRL (Air

Force Research Laboratory) in South-East Asia. RISA will

investigate the effects of scintillation in dense GNSS networks and

the potential correlation with extreme events. Additionally, RISA

will contribute to densify and maintain the network of SCINDA

GNSS stations being currently installed in the region. Finally,

RISA intends to improve the scientific knowledge on ionosphere

research and GNSS data processing of the partners that are

collaborating with AFRL in the region.

VII. PERSONAL STATEMENT I was working in Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT K), India for almost a decade (1989-98). IIT K being one of the top institutes was always very satisfying to work and conduct research alongwith a group of very bright students. In 1999, I visited STAR Program, SERD, AIT as the seconded faculty from Government of India. I was involved in teaching a course and conducting a training program alongwith other colleagues. The experience was really great to work in an International Environment and showed me scope to do diverse research to solve various global and regional issues of sustainable development using space technologies. This would have not been possible in a Bachelor Level teaching intensive institute like IITs. Therefore, I joined AIT in the year 2000. Since then, it is a saga of wonderful academic, research and social experience in my life. This has given me chance to work with colleagues not only in technology side but also in application related to real life issues – agriculture, aquaculture, water quality, erosion, disaster, supply chain and logistics using RFID/ Internet GIS, Nano Gas Sensors for air-pollution monitoring an so on. I see challenges of using GIS / Remote Sensing in various sectors and coming out with innovative solutions. All this was possible only because AIT offers the flexibility required in forming interdisciplinary alliances and encourages working in a team. Remote Sensing and GIS Field of Study is having a role of interdisciplinary teaching and research as the students come from varied background such as civil engineering, survey, mapping, forestry, agriculture, health, geography, computer science, and so on. Faculty has to offer research study and thesis topics matching with the students area of expertise. This has given many new exciting applications of geoinfomation technology in various fields and resulted in solutions for sustainable development of the region. I was able to nurture and debelop an entirely new application area such as healthGIS. I have guided several Masters and PhD thesis into this area and published papers. Anotehr area owhich is emerging is the GNSS (Global Navigation and Satellite Systems) and its application. I have completed one project witb Galileo Space Advisory (European Union) and another started recently with United States AOARD. These deal with global positioning systems available from USA and Europe such as GPS and Galileo. In future, we are going to work on QZSS (positioning and navigation system) from Japan. Till recently only GPS was available with 24 satellites but by 2013 there will be 140 satellites from GALILEO (EuroPean Union), GLONASS (Russia), Beidou (China), Gagan (India) and QZSS (Japan). This will iprove the accuracy and options in positioning and navigation and result into many more exciting new applications.


Another exciting opportunity that AIT provided was to get International Projects quite easily than any National Institute. I could conduct several International projects for UNEP, IRD-France, European Union, AORD-USA, SIDA, NACA, RTG etc. My dream is to make AIT as the number one education centre for GEOINFORMATICS (remote sensing, GIS, GPS) education and research. There are challenges but there also exist numerous hidden opportunities. I am sure with new alliances and support of my colleagues my dream will be realized in near future to build a top level Asian Centre for Geoinformatics – offering world class education and research opportunities and serving Asia effectively. As a coordinator, I was able to initiate and launch two new innovative education programs in Remote Sensing and GIS Field of Study: 5 year Unified Bachelor and Masters Program in Geoinformatics with Chiang Mai University (3 Yrs in Chiang Mai Univ and 2 Yrs in Asian Institute of Technology; students: 50 per year) and another with J.N.T.U. Kakinada, India ((3 Yrs in JNTU and 2 Yrs in Asian Institute of Technology; students: 25 per year). Partner Institute will offer Bachelor Degree and AIT will offer Masters. We are also working on offer of collaboration with other organisations on Professional Masters program and 2-stage Masters Program. We are also working on modular system of teaching to introduce more topics in curricula to expose styudents more knowledge on ever developing Geoinformation Technology. Research Profile Geoinformation Technology provides tools of Remote Sensing, GIS, Global Positioning Systems, and Photogrammetry. I use these tools for “application research” in the fields of environment, agriculture and health. This offers me tremendous scope to interact with experts from various fields and apply these tools for monitoring water quality in surface and sub-surface waterbodies, bathymetry, coastal erosion, land suitability for various crops and crop-substitution modeling, spatial/ temporal disease surveillance/ hotspot mapping, and other health related applications such as emergency response for trauma assistance. Geoinformation technology has been going through rapid advancements in terms of telecommunication, satellites, sensors, global navigation satellite systems, and powerful desktop/ laptop/ smartphones. I have also tried my best to keep track with these advancement in my last 25 years of academic and research work and developed indoor positioning systems using wLAN, RFID and Bluetooth and related it with supply chain and goods tracking. Currently, I am involved in an important and interesting research related to monitoring the errors in GPS signals due to ionospheric scintillations caused by extreme weather events and solar flares.

No. of Pages 7 Date Revised 12 September 2012

TITLE: FACULTY EVALUATION CRITERIA

I. PURPOSE

1. To set forth the evaluation criteria for faculty evaluation and the conditions and qualifications for appointment and promotion to the various ranks.

2. The evaluation process at AIT serves the purposes of advising the Institute on

the suitability of candidates for promotion and contract renewal and of providing feedback to the candidate on his/her performance in research, pedagogy, and service. The Institute uses the evaluation process to encourage and reward academic excellence and to rectify mediocrity and marginal contribution in a fair and constructive manner.

II. CONDITIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT AND

PROMOTION

A. Lecturer

1. A faculty member is appointed to the rank of Lecturer if he/she

possesses a doctoral degree with professional knowledge and two

years’ experience in the related field. He/she should have good

communication skills in English both in written and spoken. A

candidate for this rank must be creative with an ability to adapt to a

multi-culture setting in order to handle students of different

nationalities.

2. A Lecturer is appointed in order to participate in the educational and

research programs of the Institute. A Lecturer will be expected to

teach, advise students and serve as a member or chairperson of master

degree student program committees. A Lecturer may also serve as a

member of a doctoral program committee, but not as a chair.

3. A Lecturer must serve at least two years in the rank of Lecturer

before he/she is considered for the rank of Assistant Professor. He/She

will be evaluated by the Faculty Evaluation Panel and will be required

to give a seminar.

B. Professorial Ranks

1. An earned doctoral degree from a reputable institution is required for

all professorial ranks.

2. The three ranks can be thought of as a continuum of performance from

potential to actual – potential at the Assistant Professor level to actual

at the Professor level.

3. Assistant Professor

i. A member of faculty is appointed to the rank of Assistant

Professor if there is promise of his/her development toward the

rank of Associate Professor. A strong academic record should

be present and there should be a clear indication that he/she has

the aptitudes of a successful faculty member and will grow in

stature and eventually qualify for the rank of Associate

Professor. A candidate for this rank must have at least, two

years of teaching/research experience and must show promise

of successful research and scholarship. At least two research

papers in refereed international journals, including publications

resulting from his/her doctoral dissertation, may be accepted as

evidence of such promise.

ii. A faculty member may not serve more than eight years at the

rank of Assistant Professor.

4. Associate Professor

An Associate Professor should demonstrate mature and independent

scholarship. Research and pedagogy should indicate creativity,

significance and effectiveness. It should be emphasized that in all

cases the candidate for promotion must have publications in

internationally recognized refereed journals of high stature or have

published one or more textbooks with a leading press. The required

number of publications shall be a function of their quality and

significance.

5. Professor

The rank of Professor at AIT is given only to those having made

significant internationally recognized contributions in research,

pedagogy, or their profession and who have demonstrated leadership in

the Institute, their profession, or their field. Candidates to this rank

must demonstrate that their research, pedagogical, or professional

contributions have had a significant impact on the advancement of

knowledge. Isolated contributions are not sufficient; rather candidates

must show evidence of significant sustained contribution.


Page 3/7

III. EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Candidates for promotion and contract renewal are evaluated in the three

broad areas of research, pedagogy, and service. To be considered for

promotion, a faculty member must demonstrate above average competence

and professional accomplishments in all three areas and must excel in at least

one of pedagogy, research, or service to the candidate’s profession.

2. In all three areas, AIT attaches great significance to the ability to co-operate.

This includes the capacity to work jointly with colleagues. In this regard, it is

important for faculty members to be present on campus for a sufficient amount

of time each week to allow for interaction with colleagues. A faculty member

may also show ability to cooperate in interaction with the public and private

sectors.

3. In addition, the financial well-being of the Institute demands that each faculty

member contributes sufficiently to the generation of revenue. This is

primarily in the form of tuition from teaching and overhead from sponsored

projects, including research, training, and consulting.

A. Research

In general, quality is more important than quantity, although there must be

sufficient quantity to provide evidence of a significant level of scholarly

productivity.

Several factors serve as measures of the quality of a scholarly record.

a) The impact of research can be measured by the number of citations to a

candidate’s published work.

b) The quality of the journals in which the individual publishes can be

measured by the impact factors of the journals. For books the quality

of the publisher and particularly the popularity as indicated by the

number of editors/reprints is important.

c) An important measure of the significance of research comes in the

form of comments from external evaluators who are internationally

recognized scholars in the candidates’ field. External evaluators play a

key role by providing a degree of objectivity, independent of any

institutional, political, or financial factors, and expert assessment of the

significance and impact of a faculty member’s work.

d) Outside funding of research from prestigious foundations and institutes

can be viewed as a significant part of the research record, depending

on the relative size of the grant and the significance of the questions

posed.


Page 4/7

e) The composition of the portfolio of published works also matters. A

collection of good, but unconnected articles, may not produce the same

sense of impact that a set of articles advancing a coherent line of

scholarship would. It is not unprecedented, though, for faculty to shift

scholarly areas of focus. The personal statement provided by the

candidate is, therefore, a very important guide to the significance of

each scholarly piece and their connection to each other.

f) Another issue is the connection of published work to the dissertation.

Highly regarded articles from the dissertation do count, but not as

much as highly regarded articles reflecting scholarship beyond the

dissertation.

g) The scholarly record should provide clear evidence of independent

thinking and research. Thus, although many junior scholars continue

to do some collaborative work with a former Ph.D. or postdoctoral

advisor, it is important to establish a record of growing independence

from former advisors.

h) Invitations to talk at other universities and prestigious events add to the

scholarly record but generally play a relatively minor role independent

of other measures of the scholarly record.

i) AIT values the ability to collaborate, so coauthored articles are an

important factor. It is, however, necessary to identify the contributions

of the candidate to these articles. A significant portion of the overall

research record should include articles and works to which the

candidate has made the primary conceptual contributions.

B. Pedagogy

Pedagogy includes teaching/learning, student research supervision,

pedagogical development, and publications of a pedagogical nature.

The following factors are considered in evaluation of pedagogical

performance:

a) Teaching/learning effectiveness. In the area of teaching/learning, the

candidate should demonstrate mastery of knowledge in the areas

taught, competency in organization and presentation of course

materials, conscientiousness and fairness in relationships with students,

skill in instruction, and commitment to developing better approaches to

teaching/learning.

b) Teaching load. This includes the number of courses taught and their

enrollments.


Page 5/7

c) Student research. The number and quality of student research study

projects, theses, and dissertations supervised.

d) Student course evaluations. At a minimum, candidates are expected to

have numeric scores above 3.0 on the typical 5-point scale. Special

interest is placed on evaluations of the instructor’s contribution to the

class, the overall quality of the class, and, especially, the amount

students learned.

e) Peer teaching evaluations. It is best if the file includes peer reviews

from several different faculty colleagues. Especially in cases of

interdisciplinary courses, it may be useful to have peer reviews by

faculty in different disciplines.

f) Courses co-taught with other instructors from either within or outside

AIT.

g) Mentoring record. A very important part of our teaching/learning

responsibilities takes place outside of any specific course. The

advising of students is a significant contribution to the teaching/

learning mission of the Institute.

h) Initiation and participation in curriculum development (e.g. new

courses, new programs, flexible degree programs).

i) Demonstrated effectiveness in the development and use of innovative

methods in teaching/learning.

j) Publications of a pedagogical nature (e.g. textbooks, articles on

pedagogical techniques).

k) Formal personal pedagogical development. This includes participation

in workshops and short courses on pedagogy.

C. Service

Communities thrive when all members contribute to the common good. Thus

we expect that candidates will have been involved in the life of the Institute, of

the local and regional community, and of their professional associations.

a) Professional Service. Impact on and acceptance in the profession as

measured by dissemination in scholarly and professional journals.

Leadership in policy and program development in professional

organizations. Participation in organizational responses to policy,

practice, or structural issues, which affect the field. Holding

significant elective or appointed offices. Receipt of awards or citations

for professional contributions. Organization of training courses,

conferences, seminars, and workshops.


Page 6/7

b) Community Service. Serving on program committees. Consulting

activities. Refereeing of journal articles, books, grant proposals, etc.

Serving as external examiner.

c) Institute Service. Committee service. Administrative service.

Promotion and marketing.

D. Personal Statement. The personal statement is a self-reflection by a faculty

member of his/her work. The reflective statement should indicate what the

faculty member thinks of his/her most important accomplishments and the

significance of the accomplishments in achieving Field of Study, School,

institutional, and/or professional goals. The faculty member may organize

his/her reflective statement under these categories: pedagogy, research, and

service and outreach, and indicate time spent on each activity and specify

which activity or activities he/she has excelled. The faculty member should

also explain how he/she integrated pedagogy, research, and service and

outreach to achieve synergy and balance. The faculty member may illustrate

how his/her one activity has benefited other activity/activities; for example,

how research has benefited pedagogy and teaching/learning and vice versa.

The faculty member may state how the earlier feedback from the Faculty

Evaluation Panel/President helped him/her to improve quality of his/her work.

The faculty member should indicate a plan of his/her future portfolio of

activities and the expected impact.

The personal statement should not exceed two pages in length.

IV. CRITERIA FOR CONTRACT RENEWAL

Contract renewal requires a continued level of performance consistent with that

required for promotion to the faculty member’s current rank. In addition, each faculty

member is expected to have generated sufficient revenue over the previous contract

period to at least equal his/her salary cost over that period. This includes revenue

from teaching and overhead from sponsored projects, including research, training, and

consulting.
