With its tenure-track system ZALF offers outstanding scientists a long-term professional perspective.
Advantages and target groups of the tenure-track procedure
By combining three different tenure tracks, topic-specific (Classic Calls) and open topic (Open Topic Calls) call modes as well as weighted evaluation dimensions, the tenure track system contributes to the long-term assurance of ZALF's research quality and scientific performance. We want to specifically support promising young scientists on their way to scientific excellence (Regular Tenure Track), attract successful and experienced scientists with essential expertise in content and methodology (Fast Tenure Track) and recruit particularly outstanding top scientists (Immediate Tenure Track).
Tenure Track and Family
With the recruitment and further qualification of scientists, the tenure-track system also contributes to ZALF's equality goals. ZALF offers its employees a high degree of flexibility in the compatibility of work and family. This includes mobile working, the provision of childcare, external counselling for ZALF employees and their families and the family-conscious selection process.
