Appointment committees are generally appointed and set up by the Dean. In order to reach a decision, the composition of the appointment committee is sent by email to the dean and the faculty office in the CC, stating the position to be filled (scope, job title, classification according to TV-L, department, etc.).

The faculty office then informs the elected members and deputies of the election by email.

In special cases, the appointment of an appointment committee can be discussed and elected by the Faculty Council.

They are composed as follows:

a) Temporary positions/qualification positions

in the case of qualification positions 3 : 1 : 1 (3 professors, 1 academic staff member, 1 student), in the case of other fixed-term positions 3 representatives for the department (generally from the group of professors), 1 academic staff member, 1 student; extension by 1 MTV as an advisory member, e.g. for administrative support, possible;
