Tenure-track program at the University of Siegen
In 2019, the University of
Siegen successfully participated in the second selection
round of the tenure-track program. 13 tenure-track
professorships will be funded at Siegen. The approved
funding amount for the University of Siegen is almost 12.3
million euros.
The federal-state program for the promotion of young
scientists (tenure-track program for short) is the first
time that tenure-track professorships have been widely
established at universities in Germany. For many young
scientists, the path to a professorship will become much
clearer and easier to plan: the tenure-track professorship
is aimed at young scientists in the early stages of their
careers and provides for an immediate transition to a
lifetime professorship after a successful probationary
phase.
Tenure-track means that upon appointment to a junior
professorship or a temporary W2 university professorship, a
binding commitment is made that in the case of successful
tenure evaluation, the appointment will be to a permanent
university professorship. The evaluation criteria to be
fulfilled are already agreed upon at the time of
appointment to the tenure-track professorship.
Current job advertisements can be found on the application portal of the University of Siegen.
Details on the procedure can be found in the tenure-track regulations of the University of Siegen, the appointment regulations and the guidelines for the interim evaluation of junior professors.
