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.
