Ad Hominem Promotions and Merit Awards 2026
Dear Colleagues
Promotion is a career milestone in the life of any professional. I invite you to consider applying for:
- Recognition of high achievement in the form of an ad hominem promotion (in the case of joint staff on Western Cape Government/National Health Laboratory Service conditions of service and University of Cape Town staff remunerated on the clinical payline, the promotion will bring about no change in conditions of service and will be in title only.)
- Merit and Excellence Awards for your current rank (open to staff on UCT conditions of service only).
Please see the full Faculty of Health Sciences ad hominems invitation for 2026 attached.
Guidelines on academic staff promotion are available on the UCT human resources website.
Enkosi kakhulu
Professor Lionel Green-Thompson
Dean: Faculty of Health Sciences
