Tenure track at MUHS

The high esteem for researchers and the excellent research infrastructure at Marien University Hospital & School create an excellent environment for research at an international level. Marien University Hospital & School particularly promotes transdisciplinary research collaborations in order to stimulate creative and forward-looking solutions through the exchange of knowledge, methods and technologies across borders.
By participating in the Tenure Track Programme for the Promotion of Young Scientists (WISNA Programme), the Marien University Hospital & School Gelsenkirchen would like to contribute to making the career paths of young scientists at MUHS more predictable and transparent. Up to now, the time until the first appointment to a lifetime professorship has been characterised by many uncertainties and long, sometimes precarious qualification paths. On average, a professor is appointed to a professorship and thus to the first permanent position at the beginning of the fifth decade of life (cf. Wissenschaftsrat 2014). The establishment of a tenure-track procedure opens up promising career paths for young scientists.
