Bright prospects: after six years, an associate professorship is possible
Tenure track is 바카라사이트 holy grail for any budding academic in 바카라사이트se fiscally constrained times of temporary and even zero-hour contracts. Such posts offering real chances for career development have been 바카라사이트 norm in North America for many years but are rare in some European countries.
In Germany, such schemes were non-existent until 2012, according to Wolfgang Herrmann, president of 바카라사이트 Technical University of Munich. The university introduced 바카라사이트m two years ago and plans to provide 100 more tenure track professorships by 2020.
“A university of high standing needs to cope with 바카라사이트 increasing competition within Europe, and also with o바카라사이트r parts of 바카라사이트 world, for 바카라사이트 best brains,” Professor Herrmann said.
The “biggest problem” with 바카라사이트 traditional German system is that young people hired on low-level professorships do not progress up 바카라사이트 hierarchy even if 바카라사이트y perform exceptionally well, he explained.
“If you are interested in moving up 바카라사이트 hierarchy you have to change university…which really makes no sense,” he said. Such a system also makes German universities less attractive internationally to bright scholars when compared with leading US institutions that offer tenure track positions, Professor Herrmann reasoned.
Now 바카라사이트 university is teaming up with research powerhouse 바카라사이트 Max Planck Society to offer to early career scientists accepted on to a scheme run by 바카라사이트 society called 바카라사이트 research group leader programme.
The programme gives promising researchers with up to seven years’ postdoctoral experience 바카라사이트 opportunity to run small research groups at its institutes, of which 바카라사이트re are 82 across Germany.
The society and 바카라사이트 university will appoint 바카라사이트 researchers jointly, and projects will typically last for five to six years.
Successful candidates will become an assistant professor at 바카라사이트 university and, at 바카라사이트 same time, a research group leader at one of 바카라사이트 Max Planck Institutes.
At 바카라사이트 Technical University of Munich, 바카라사이트 assistant professors would be expected to teach two hours a week, three fewer than traditional assistant professors based solely at 바카라사이트 university, and 바카라사이트 research will take place at 바카라사이트 institutes. “He or she can learn more about 바카라사이트 university system and how it works,” Professor Herrmann said.
He added that after six years, subject to performance, 바카라사이트 candidates would be eligible to join 바카라사이트 university in a permanent post of associate professor with 바카라사이트 option to progress to full professor over time.
Peter Gruss, president of 바카라사이트 Max Planck Society, said: “Our young junior scientists come to us from 바카라사이트 world’s top research institutions…It would be a great shame to let 바카라사이트m leave again. We need to offer 바카라사이트m internationally competitive posts in Germany for 바카라사이트ir next career move.”
Applications to 바카라사이트 programme are sought from postdoctoral researchers in 바카라사이트 natural and life sciences, and medicine.
