fairly similar across Schools/Services More males apply than females and in higher proportion than
the institutional representation in all categories In all categories, except Enterprise Fellow (no female

The highest numbers of applicants (for all categories) is in the age range 46 – 55 (48%), with 38% from the 36 – 45 year old age group
The number of Readership applications from staff in ethnic minority groups is more than twice the institutional representation (12% against 5%) with a similar proportion of appointments at 11%
