Being a Professor at the University of Bremen

The University of Bremen has a strong interest in attracting highly motivated, dedicated, and outstanding professors. As the appointment of professors involves long-term decisions about research directions, study programs, and the allocation of resources, special attention is paid to appointment procedures. Against this background, high standards must be applied to the procedures, particularly in terms of transparency, duration, information flow, gender equality, and sensitivity to the diversity of people.

A professorship at the University of Bremen is characterized by a large scope of action and a high degree of independence as the University of Bremen does not follow the principle of professorial chairs.
