Hey, Assistant Professors and Postdocs, I've got some solid tips and healthy knowledge for you about the academic tenure and promotion process.
First, make sure to read up on the standards that your institution uses to evaluate candidates. There are a lot of them out there, but they can vary quite a bit. Find out what they are, and make sure to use them when you're making your case for tenure.
Second, make sure that you have a good argument for why you deserve tenure at this particular institution. Talk about how well-matched your research is with the institution's mission, its goals for the future, and its current faculty members' research interests. Also, think about how much time you've spent working here—how many years have passed since you were hired? How has that time been spent? What kind of impact has your work had at that time? This will help demonstrate how valuable it would be if you were awarded some form of permanent status at this institution.
Finally, don't rush things! You've put a lot of hard work into earning this opportunity—make sure that it's worth it by taking all the time necessary to prepare yourself properly before applying for tenure.
