Christine Mohrmann Fund

Recruit and nominate professors

The Executive Board provides temporary funds from the Christine Mohrmann Fund for the appointment of a professor if the professor meets faculty quality requirements and the appointment increases gender diversity in the environment. The temporary funds are intended to stimulate and accelerate an appointment; the faculty then ensures, where possible, structural embedding of the professor in the chair plan. The funds can be used to accelerate the promotion of a UHD to full professor or to facilitate the appointment of a new external professor. In both cases, the unit must indicate why resources make the appointment in question possible (faster).

Recruit and appoint Associate Professors

The Executive Board provides temporary funds from the Christine Mohrmann Fund for the appointment of an AP, if the AP meets faculty quality requirements and the appointment increases gender diversity in the environment. The temporary funds are intended to incentivise an appointment; the faculty will then ensure, where possible, structural embedding of the AP. The funds can be used to promote a AP to senior or to co-facilitate the appointment of a new external UHP (senior). In both cases, the unit should indicate why resources make the relevant appointment possible.

Selecting and developing young talents

The Executive Board provides temporary funds from the Christine Mohrmann Fund for (accelerated) advancement of scientists if this advancement increases gender diversity in the environment. This is substantiated numerically by the relevant unit. These temporary funds are available for trajectories in which a talented scientist can advance to a higher position through a career track if this candidate meets predefined performance criteria. If the set criteria are not met, a pathway to an external career follows.

The career tracks relate to career paths with employees in the position of researcher or university (head) lecturer on a permanent basis at Radboud University.
