Tenure Track Academy
A tenure track professorship opens up the opportunity for a lifetime professorship at an early stage. For this purpose, you must master two evaluation procedures and provide evidence of research, teaching, and leadership skills. The Graduate Center TU Dortmund University supports you in this process with individual advice, targeted transferable skills training, and networking within the peer group.
Transferable skills training
In precisely designed workshops for the career phase of tenure track professors, you can specifically develop essential areas of competence that you need for your goal of a lifetime professorship. In addition, the workshops offer space for inter-department, university-wide networking.
