Tenure Track
Are you a talented academic (lecturer, researcher and/or lecturer/PhD candidate) and would you like to advance along the assistant professor (UD)-associate professor (UHD)-full professor route? If so, the university might offer you a tenure track.
If you are offered a tenure track, it generally involves temporary employment of up to 6 years. This applies to academics employed as researchers, lecturers or lecturers/PhD candidates. Upon fulfilment of performance agreements within the set timeframe, the track ends with promotion to an assistant professor (UD) position and permanent employment.
Career Track
Are you an academic who has a permanent contract with the university and the ambition to progress to a higher academic position or a higher academic job level? If so, the university might offer you a career track. Career tracks can be created for all conceivable academic promotion steps.
A career track is a path via which you can qualify for a higher position or job level in a set period based on clear performance agreements.
