Senior Lecturers and Researchers

The Senior Researchers and Lecturers (formerly Mittelbau) are our group of Assistant Professors, Permanent Lecturers, PostDocs, Senior Researchers and external Lecturers.

Who we are

The Mittelbau is anything but a homogeneous group. Amongst its 1,200 members, you will find younger as well as more senior colleagues serving in various positions: 

• roughly 200 assistant professors and researchers with a doctorate degree (post docs);
• approximately 45 senior lecturers (Ständige Dozierende), many of whom are tenured and most of whom come with Habilitation or post-doctoral equivalent;
• some 800 external lecturers (Lehrbeauftragte).

The Senior Researchers and Lecturers obligations, their rights and responsibilities are listed in the University’s basic legal foundation (Universitätsgesetz) and its statute (Universitätsstatut).

More information as well as all representatives can be found on the intranet (link below).
