There is no standard answer, so you can refer to the actual situation. It usually takes 3-5 years for a lecturer to be promoted to associate professor normally, that is, a doctor will be a lecturer for 3-5 years. The number of associate professors is limited every year, and there are many qualified teachers in each school, so the competition is fierce.
The evaluation of associate professors needs to meet the basic conditions, professional and technical work experience (ability) conditions, performance results conditions and so on. , the most important of which is the performance results (teaching and research teachers):
1, won the provincial (ministerial) third prize or above scientific research or teaching achievement award;
2. The teaching level is high, the teaching effect is good, the teaching quality evaluation is excellent for more than two years, and at least the second prize of 1 school teaching competition is won;
3. Lectures on provincial quality online open classes, quality video open classes or quality resource classes;
4. Presided over the scientific research (educational reform) project 1 item above the municipal (ministerial) level, or mainly participated in 2 scientific research (educational reform) projects above the provincial (ministerial) level, and passed the acceptance;
5. Obtained the invention patent related to this major 1 (limited to the first inventor), which has been transferred and applied for.
It is enough to meet one of the above five items. For a young teacher, 1 and 3 items are basically ok, and the second item is also very difficult, but it can be done through hard work. As for the fifth article, it has much to do with one's own scientific research level as well as one's own major. Many engineering majors have strong operability in applying for patents, but it is very difficult for some basic disciplines, such as mathematics. What are the directions of invention patents in mathematics?
Very few! Therefore, many people try their best to focus on article 4, that is, applying for municipal (ministerial) projects. Although it is difficult, it is the most possible for young teachers who have just joined the job.
6. Publicly publish more than 2 academic papers of this major collected by SCI, EI and SSCI (of which 1 is the first author or correspondent).
7. Publicly publish more than 3 academic papers of this major by the first author (or correspondent author), of which 2 papers are published in domestic core academic journals (or papers are included by SCI, EI and SSCI).
8. Publicly publish professional academic monographs or translations, or participate in the compilation of teaching materials for higher education planning of the Ministry of Education, and at the same time publish more than 2 professional academic papers in domestic core academic journals (or papers are included by SCI, EI and SSCI) (1 is the first author or correspondent).
