What is the performance expectation for promotion to full professor (from tenured associate) in the US versus in the UK and Australia?
Getting promoted to full professor seems to be a much bigger deal in the UK and Australia than in the US. Historically at least, many academics in the UK and Australia went their entire career without being promoted to full, whereas my impression is that's not the case in the US. The full professor promotion decision is fraught in the UK and Australia, and in that way is more like the tenure decision in the US.

There seems to be a stronger expectation of leadership at the university and in one's field and possibly a stronger expectation of high-quality research productivity in the UK and Australia, but I'm not sure of this.

Hoping for better answers..
