Some people who received this message don't often get email from ailsa.millen at stir.ac.uk. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Thanks Till. Great idea for the simplified shortlisting process, thanks Dave.

@Karen Sutherland<mailto:karen.sutherland1 at stir.ac.uk> , please can you add me to the cluster folder, am157 at stir.ac.uk , so that I can access it.

With thanks and kind regards,

Ailsa

Hi all,

Follow-up to the message below. To reduce the workload for cluster members who’d like to participate in the shortlisting, we have simplified the process (thanks to Dave for this suggestion).

Rather than ranking your favourite 9 candidates, please use the following, simplified scoring procedure:
2 = I want this person
1 = Worth considering
0 = Not in the running

This should make the scoring easier on your end.

Recall, we can nominate a maximum of 9 total, of which only 4 can be international

Thanks,
Till

Dear Behavioural Science cluster,

IAS have sent us the list of applicants to our cluster. They now need a shortlist of 9 candidates (6 + 3 reserve) by 22nd May.

We want to keep the process as transparent and democratic as possible and invite you to participate in the shortlisting. This is an invitation, so don’t feel obliged if you don’t have the time or are not interested in participating with the selection. But, to maximise the wisdom of the crowd, I’d say: the more the merrier!

Could you please let me know if you would like to participate in the shortlisting? I will forward the list of applicants and the detailed selection criteria to everyone who wants take part.

If you are in, here is what we would need from you by 15th of May:

  1.  Familiarise yourself with the selection criteria put forward by IAS
  2.  Based on these criteria, give us a ranked list of your personal top 9 applicants (i.e. 1) Candidate X; 2) Candidate Y; ... 9) Candidate Z)
     *   Make sure that this list contains a maximum of 4 international students, per the IAS rules

This is how we plan to aggregate all personal rankings by cluster members

  *   An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.1 gets 9 points
  *   An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.2 gets 8 points
  *   An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.3 gets 7 points
  *   …
  *   An applicant who gets ranked by a cluster member at No.9 gets 1 points
  *   An applicant who does not get ranked by a cluster member gets 0 points
  *   We will then sum up these points for each applicant over all cluster members
  *   This will be the aggregate ranking that will form the basis for the cluster short list
  *   Kind of like the Eurovision Song Contest…

Thanks and best wishes,
Till
