Appointment
Once the committee procedures have been completed, the appointment is made by the Rectorate, and the offer is extended by the University President, who also leads the negotiations.
We endeavour to conduct appointment procedures efficiently. At the same time, an appointment procedure requires the cooperation and coordination of numerous internal and external stakeholders, as well as the involvement of several committees. As their meetings are tied to the academic calendar, an appointment procedure generally takes around two semesters to complete, up to the point of the offer being made.
Updates on the status of the process are communicated directly to those involved as and when they arise.
