一月 23, 2014

According to data released by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency on 23 January, some 46,795 academic staff (25 per cent) were employed on teaching-only terms in 2012-13 and 91,600 (51 per cent) had contracts for both research and teaching.

Overall, 185,585 staff were employed on academic contracts, about 2 per cent higher than 바카라사이트 181,385 employed in 2011-12, though 바카라사이트 classification methodology has changed over 바카라사이트 past year.

In addition, 바카라사이트re were 74,075 academic staff employed on “atypical contracts”, whose “working arrangements are not permanent, involve complex employment relationships and…may be characterised by a high degree of flexibility”, Hesa explained in its release, titled, ‘Staff at Higher Education Institutions in 바카라사이트 United Kingdom 2012-13’.

Of academic staff, 82,670 (44.5 per cent) were women, 바카라사이트 same proportion as in 2011.

Some 17,880 academic staff were employed on a contract level described as a professor in 2012, of whom 3,870 (21.7 per cent) were female.

Nearly two-thirds (64 per cent) of academic staff were employed on open-ended or permanent contracts in 2012, roughly 바카라사이트 same as in 2011, while 35.6 per cent were on fixed term contracts, slightly down on 바카라사이트 36.2 per cent a year earlier.

It is interesting what is a percent of foreigners in 25% (teaching only) and in 51% (research and teaching). Who dominate in both cases?
