GRADUATE

ACADEMY

You can apply for a W1 junior professorship (qualification professorship) already in the first few years after their doctorate.

You should have a very good doctorate. A habilitation or comparable achievements are not necessary. Depending on the discipline, teaching experience and/or experience in third-party funding may be required.

A junior professorship is always limited (usually six years in total). If it is advertised as "with tenure track", it is converted into a permanent W2 or even W3 professorship after successful mid-term and tenure evaluation of the position holder.

The hiring requirements for Saxony-Anhalt are regulated in § 40 HSG LSA.

Further information on the tenure track at the OVGU is provided by the Appointment Management and Strategic Human Resources Development of the OVGU and is noted in the OVGU regulations on the structure of appointments with a tenure track at the OVGU [PDF, 140 kB; German only].
