Appointment for Professorship – Learning from Experience (27.02.2024) – Natural Science, Engineering + Computer Science
232_KB01_PD
The event offers the opportunity to gain insights into appointment procedures for professorships in a discussion with experienced professors and other relevant stakeholders.
How do appointment procedures work? Who is involved? What considerations are decisive on the part of the decision-making bodies? Which behaviour is expected from applicants, which is tolerated and which tends to contribute to a negative assessment?
The participants:
- receive important (background) information about the entire appointment procedure
- can clarify their questions with experienced professors, newly appointed professors and other stakeholders involved in the process
- can adjust their behaviour in appointment procedures more specifically to the relevant requirements
Based on the appointment procedure, the three-hour event focuses on three main topics:
- 1. Application: Identifying suitable positions, matching the position with your own profile, contact with the relevant university before and after the application, etc.
- 2. Appointment presentation and discussion with the appointment committee: selection of the presentation topic, presentation design for a heterogeneous audience, stumbling blocks in the presentation and discussion, dealing with critical questions, do's and don'ts
- 3. Appointment: procedure, clever negotiation and behaviour, expectations of the appointing university
