Generally, there is a need to demonstrate that the professor or researcher is recognized internationally in a specific academic area through specific types of documentation. The individual must have at least three years’ experience in teaching and/or research in the academic area.
Such individuals must be sponsored either (1) for a tenured or tenure-track position within a university / institution of higher education, or (2) in a comparable university / academic research position or (3) in a private company in a comparable position. Private employer sponsors must have documented research results and employ at least three full-time researchers.
