Abstract

Germany is one of the most important host countries for internationally mobile students and academics. In comparison to students and academic personnel, however, international professors are underrepresented. The research project “International Academics at German Universities: From Postdoc to Professorship” explores the hurdles faced by international academics in making the transition from postdoc to professorship at German universities.
