To be appointed as a professor at the University of Innsbruck, candidates undergo a structured appointment procedure. The responsibility for the appointment process lies with the Rector, who oversees it in accordance with the provisions of the Universities Act (UG) and the Statutes of the University of Innsbruck.
The coordination and administrative support of the appointment process is provided by the Appointments Office. The process begins with the approval of the professorship to be filled by the Rectorate. Subsequently, a Committee is appointed, which defines the job profile and selection criteria for the professorship. The committee evaluates the applications received and conducts hearings with the candidates before making a recommendation for appointment to the Rectorate.
This procedure ensures a transparent and quality-assured selection of professors for the University of Innsbruck.
