Tenure track positions at FEB are temporary positions subject to a tenure decision at the end. You will be appointed initially for a period of seven years, on the condition of a positive mid-term evaluation at the end of the third year of employment. The seventh year is intended to compensate for any ‘life events’ (e.g. prolonged illness or parental leave) which might take place during the first six years. Based on a positive final evaluation in the sixth year, tenure will be granted and you will become Associate Professor. The track concerns an academic career path which leads to a position as Full Professor if criteria are met.
Formal tenure track requirements primarily include criteria with respect to research prominence, teaching, and service.
