Tenure Track – The path to a professorship at Med Uni Graz

Med Uni Graz expands its strategic strengths by appointing tenure track professors. Its competitive tenure positions are advertised internationally. The number of tenure track positions requiring appointments and the scientific orientation of the positions are determined by the Med Uni Graz Rectorate in consultation with the scientific organizational units. The initial appointment is limited to six years as an assistant professor with a qualification agreement (tenure track model pursuant to § 99 para. 5 and 6 of the Universities Act). The career advancement goal is to transfer to a tenured position as an associate professor. If the candidate demonstrates outstanding and remarkable achievements, the qualification agreement may be fulfilled more quickly.

Career development towards research professorship
Internal career development for medical specialists and post-docs

Med Uni Graz has developed an internal career program for academic staff that promotes medical research and supports medical specialists and post-docs in advancing their scientific careers. Med Uni Graz staff can apply for acceptance in the career program once a year. A successful application (preparation for a selection or appointment procedure) is directly reflected in a higher salary. Upon successful completion of the program, the limited term position is replaced by an unlimited term position and Med Uni Graz confers the title "Research Professor."

The career program supports young researchers in acquiring scientific qualifications so they can compete internationally for tenure track positions and provides additional career prospects for the post-doc phase if no tenure track professorships are vacant.
