Candidates should be able to demonstrate:

• Publication-Based Benchmarking: Identification of benchmarks, reference studies, standards, or evaluation frameworks cited or referenced in their published research.
• Domain Expertise: Knowledge of the leading and most widely recognised benchmarks used in their specific research domain.
• Benchmarking Application: Practical experience applying research benchmarks to evaluate, compare, validate, or improve research outcomes.
• Research Assessment: Ability to assess the credibility, relevance, and effectiveness of different benchmarking approaches within their discipline.

Preferred Candidate Profile

• PhD holders with a strong academic and research track record.
• Researchers with publications in reputed journals and experience collaborating with leading academic or research institutions.
• Professionals who have actively used research benchmarking in their publications, research projects, or professional work.
• Candidates who can clearly explain the top benchmarks and evaluation frameworks relevant to their respective domains.

Screening & Assessment Criteria

As part of the evaluation process, candidates may be assessed on:

1. Their published research papers and the benchmarks referenced in those publications.
2. The top 3–5 benchmarking frameworks, reference standards, or methodologies they are familiar with in their domain.
3. Practical examples of how they have applied these benchmarks in their research.
4. Their understanding of how benchmarking is used to compare research findings, validate methodologies, and assess scientific performance.

Note: Strong preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrable experience in research benchmarking, beyond theoretical or academic knowledge alone.
