Mr Rezaei Ahvanooei .....

In Australia, it's a position to be filled, and not promoting.

But if you employed as a Lecturer, and need to promote to assistant professor, you need to apply for a new position if you meet the selection criteria, the same from Assistant professor to professor

The criteria are mainly the number of research publications, the number of research students, connection to industry and main important thing is: the ability of attract research funds.
