Information on the application web portal (professorships)
The University of Oldenburg has been using a web-based software for conducting professorial appointment procedures since 2023. All schools are gradually being connected to the software, so that in the future, all procedures for filling a professorship will be conducted via the application web portal.
The entire professorial appointment process is mapped on the portal - from the application to the appointment proposal.
- Applicants submit their complete application data and can keep track of the status of the procedure via the portal.
- Communication with the applicants usually happens via the portal.
- The committee receives the application documents and additional procedural information via the portal.
Whether a procedure is conducted using the application web portal can be found in the job advertisement.
How do I know whether to apply via the application web portal?
The application details can be found in the job advertisement. If you need to apply via the application web portal, you will find a corresponding note with a link in the advertisement (https://l.uol.de/berufungen).
How do I apply via the portal?
At https://l.uol.de/berufungen, you will find a list of professorships you can apply for. Select the specific professorship. After a short registration, the application form opens where you can enter your data and upload additional documents.
Due to your registration, we can communicate with you via the portal and you can always see the current status of the procedure.
The application form also contains additional information on how to fill out the form and on the procedure itself.
Are there special aspects regarding in-house applications?
We kindly ask in-house applicants to register with a private e-mail address.
The official e-mail address of the UOL is reserved for the participation in an appointment committee.
Do I receive notifications via the portal?
In most cases, we will communicate with you via the portal. The e-mail address registered in your profile is used in this regard for further legally binding communication in the procedure (inquiries, possible invitations to hearings/interviews, rejections, etc.). You will be informed of the receipt of a new message in the portal via a system message to this e-mail address.
How do I get access to the portal?
To gain portal access at employee level as a committee member or reviewer, please follow these steps:
- Accept the invitation:
- Wait for the invitation email from the portal administrators.
- Please open the invitation email and read the provided instructions.
- Click on the "Accept Invitation" link and register for the first time.
- Registration/Login:
