Appointment Procedures

Appointment procedures are the central element to shaping the future of a university. Personnel involved in appointment procedures aim to find the best person for an advertised position.

At the University of Bamberg, the appointment procedure regulations (in German) and the legal framework set a high standard for appointment procedures, also in regard to equal opportunities for all applicants.

When the standard is equality, transparency is a critical characteristic of the appointment procedure. For this reason, the University of Bamberg provides guidlines and additional information on the development of a transparent appointment procedure(in German).

In addition to transparency, the active recruitment of female researchers is an essential element of gender-equality work. To this end, the networks listed below are important resources. Our list of gender-related networks and databases may also be helpful.
