Mid-level academic staff
Mid-level academic staff (including postdocs) play an important role in a university: together with professors, mid-level academic staff take on important tasks in the areas of research, development and transfer. At the same time, they are active in teaching and thus in the supervision of students.
Fulda University of Applied Sciences wants to further expand its mid-level academic staff and thus continue and intensify its research strength and wide-ranging research activities, the successful work in the research centres and research alliances as well as in the doctoral centres.
Individual career paths at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences
Do you have a doctorate and would like to obtain further qualifications in academic research at a university? Then you've come to the right place: We endeavour to open up individual perspectives for our academic employees and offer a wide range of career paths to researchers with a doctorate. The aim is to qualify you - on the basis of Human Resources Development Concepts - for activities both within and outside the academic field.
Fulda University of Applied Sciences is committed to supporting, advising and supporting its own young academics even more systematically at all career stages. In this context, equal opportunities and family-friendly career planning play an important role for us, as the development of gender-equitable career paths, especially for post-doctoral candidates and employees below professorship level, is an essential structural obligation of the university.
