Webcast "How to Apply for Professorships"

Every scientist who decides to stay in academia sooner or later faces the supposedly most difficult challenge of his or her career: applying for a full professorship. The aim of the webcast is to inform participants in detail about all phases of the appointment process for professorships (focus on Germany) and to give them concrete advice and tips for their application. The webcast first covers the process and formal aspects of the appointment procedure. Subsequently, all necessary application documents (especially CV, cover letter, research and teaching concept) are discussed in detail and partly illustrated with examples. The third part deals with all aspects of the hearing. Participants are informed about the requirements for the interview and the demonstration talk. In addition, the most frequently asked questions in the interview with the selection committee will be discussed.
