Dear Colleagues

Promotion is a career milestone in the life of any professional. Today I invite scientific and technical staff members in the Faculty of Health Sciences to apply for ad hominem promotions if they are eligible to do so and can demonstrate that their work merits such recognition.
 

The documents below set forth the guidelines and criteria for considering Scientific and Technical Officers for ad hominem promotions. These guidelines and criteria have been agreed on by the University of Cape Town and the Employees’ Union. They are:

• 2026 FHS Scientific and Technical Officers Ad Hominem invite
• 2026 Performance Standards Document
• 2026 Scientific Officer Performance Standards Template
• 2026 Technical Officer Performance Standards Template
• 2026 Scientific and Technical Officers Promotions Process

Please submit all documentation in confidence to Feryal Adams, fhshrbp-fa@uct.ac.za by Friday, 7 August 2026 or sooner. Incomplete or late applications cannot be considered. Applicants are responsible for ensuring that all required documentation is submitted by the closing date.

If you have any queries regarding the process, please contact your HRBP or Feryal Adams on telephone 021 406 6002, MS Teams or email feryal.adams@uct.ac.za
