Your professorship at the HNEE
The quality of teaching, research, and profile development at HNEE is fundamentally shaped by our professors. Here, you will teach with a practical focus, conduct applied research, and work interdisciplinarily across a wide range of interest groups. The best part: you will have considerable freedom to shape your teaching and research activities — whether through research projects or by experimenting with new learning and teaching formats.
In recruiting and selecting the right candidates, we place great importance on conducting the appointment procedure properly, fairly, and transparently.
HNEE has officially joined the Hochschulrektorenkonferenz’s self-commitment → “On the Path to Greater Gender Equality in Appointments”. With this, we continue to pursue our commitment to achieving a balanced gender distribution across all staff groups.
I always say that being a professor is my day job while being a lifelong learner of biodiversity and climate change issues. Being a professor at HNEE is special because it gives me the freedom to move between theory and practice, and this is an opportunity that is rare to come by.
