Other Comments on the e-Dossier

  • You are writing to a general audience; avoid acronyms and jargon whenever possible. If acronyms are used, make sure to define each when first used.
  • When uploading documents to the e-dossier, make sure the main document is first in each section and that support materials/appendices are listed after this.
  • Make sure to provide context for any awards received so that it is clear to reviewers how prestigious the award really was.
  • Throughout the e-dossier, context is key to ensuring reviewers from outside your field truly understand your accomplishments and their impact.
  • Once any materials are submitted for any level of review, they should not be changed from that point forward. For instance, if the CV and self-assessment letter are submitted for external review, they should not be changed. Any significant accomplishments made after materials are submitted for review can be included in an appendix or a letter from the candidate’s committee and/or department head.
