What the heck is tenure track? (October 17, 2024 | online)
In the German academic system, Tenure Track is a relatively new concept. With a tenure track position, one gets the opportunity to immediately transition to a permanent position when successfully completing the probationary period (known as the tenure track phase). The majority of tenure track positions comes along with a professorship; less common and known are lecturer or researcher positions with tenure track.
