The Professorial Appointments Unit looks forward to assisting you with all questions in connection with professorial academic searches.

Ensuring a transparent and efficient academic search procedure is our primary goal. This covers all stages of the search procedure from advertising vacancies through to the work of the academic search committee and contract negotiations with successful candidates.

The Professorial Appointments Unit at Universität Hamburg provides advice for members of academic search committees on procedure and regulations. It also functions as a service center for the preparation and evaluation of written negotiations relating to W1 and W2 appointments and contract negotiations for W3 professorships.
