Appointment Procedures

The responsibility for the appointment procedure lies with the President of KIT. The appointment procedure is coordinated and supervised by STS Appointment Procedures from the very beginning. In addition to the preparation and monitoring of the central committee process and the quality assurance of the entire appointment procedure, this includes in detail:

• Planning of professorships within the framework of the structure and development plan
• Preparation and follow-up of appointment and retention negotiations
• Dealing with fundamental legal issues in connection with appointment procedures
• Advising appointment committees
• Coordination of the evaluation of W1 professorships
• Organizing and documenting interviews for the renewal of endowments.

The detailed process steps and responsibilities can be found in the "Guidelines for the Implementation of Appointment Procedures to Fill W 2/W 3 Professorships and Senior Scientific Positions". These can be found in our download area(intranet), as can the associated forms and "Notes on the evaluation of W1 professorships".
