In 2025, the Unite! Visiting Professorship Programme continues to aim at attracting outstanding international talents to promote interdisciplinarity in teaching and didactic innovation through international experience. It is open to all subjects represented at TU Darmstadt. Up to 13 visiting professorships could be financially supported. The target group are primarily experienced postdocs. The deadline for applications is March 31st, 2025.
This format of strategic cooperation between Unite! universities promotes networking among its academic communities and supports the career development of the visiting scientists. Moreover, students benefit from internationally oriented teaching. The target group are primarily experienced postdocs affiliated to Unite! partner universities, although advanced career phase (lecturers, professors) are also welcome to apply.
Visiting professors from the Unite! partner universities offer supplementary (elective) courses at TU Darmstadt, ideally bringing innovative topics. Starting in the winter semester 2025/26, the appointment period should cover the lecture period from mid-October to mid-February and can be established for a maximum of two years.
TU Darmstadt will cover all the costs, with a co-financing structure planned for the WS 2025/26 (half of the costs covered centrally, and the other half from the host institutes). Possible prolongations of the guest professorships should be financed by the host departments themselves. The use of state funds (Landesmittel) is obligatory.
Interested candidates should explore the faculties and departments of TU Darmstadt here. Once you identify the department that aligns with your area of interest, candidates are encouraged to directly contact the head of the department, briefly introducing yourself and providing a proposal for the course you would like to teach at TU Darmstadt.
You may contact Dr.-Ing. Nebojša Čamprag at nebojsa.camprag@tu-darmstadt.de. He will assist you in identifying a suitable department and facilitating contact with the department head for further discussions.
