The process from A to Z

The recruitment process for academic staff at Danish universities is regulated by a number of rules and is a fairly lengthy procedure.

 

The process in short is as follows:

• After the deadline for applications we will appoint an assessment committee.
• We will inform you of you the composition of the assessment committee and the deadline for their work.
• After the assessment committee has evaluated your application, you will receive a copy of your assessment.
• We will then invite a number of qualified candidates for a job interview.
• The Head of Department will recommend a candidate for the position, and the Dean will make the final decision.
• All applicants will be informed of the hiring decision.
