An applicant’s background and opportunities to demonstrate their merit will be taken into consideration by selection committees.
It is further acknowledged that academics follow different trajectories in their careers. In considering academics for employment, the totality of what an applicant can contribute to NUC will be assessed bearing in mind minimum requirements for certain levels of post.
