Welcome to the Professorship Appointments at the University of Vienna

The Professorship Appointments unit is the central point of contact for incoming professors at all career stages – from the offer to the start of employment.

We coordinate the appointment process, accompany the appointment negotiations, and support the Rector throughout the procedure.

As the central communication point for everyone involved, we ensure clear interfaces, transparent procedures, and reliable coordination.

Throughout the entire process, we provide support to full professors as well as tenure‑track professors.

Our tailored Welcome & Integration support offering for newly appointed professors provides guidance and facilitates a smooth start in Austria and at the University of Vienna.
