Why apply for a research affiliation rather than a conferred academic title?
There are a large number of people who contribute to research (particularly authors who include USyd on their byline) who do not supervise students or contribute to teaching and therefore may not be eligible for a conferred title. By implementing a new ‘lighter touch’ affiliation, these individuals are able to be captured and maintained in T2 and subsequently RIMS, providing a true account of the University’s research activity and therefore maintaining or increasing current levels of funding as well as ensuring visibility of paid employee and non-paid affiliates contributing to the University’s research performance.
