Alma Mater only appoints those to teaching positions who have been pre-approved and invited. If you have not been invited, please follow the instructions under Prospective Teacher Inquiry.

In line with national NAKVIS guidelines, lecturers may be appointed to one of the following positions: Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Teaching Assistant, Assistant Professor/Dozent, Associate Professor, or Full Professor. Please review the NAKVIS guidelines and university documents for the specific requirements of each position.

The appointment process includes a thorough review of the candidate’s academic qualifications, professional experience, and research contributions. Applications are first evaluated by the Habilitation Committee, which reviews the applicant’s CV, publications, teaching experience, and other credentials. The Senate then appoints three independent evaluators, some from other universities, who assess the candidate according to NAKVIS standards, prepare separate evaluation reports, and submit recommendations to the university Senate for final approval. The entire process usually takes about three months from submission to formal appointment.

The process is simplified for individuals already appointed at other universities.

We prefer receiving all documents in one multi-page PDF. Do not send articles, books, or other publications unless requested.

Please fill the Teaching Position Appointment form, You will be asked to provide your contact data and attach CV, Photo ID, and copies of your diplomas or degree certificates.

Once submitted, your application will be reviewed by our academic and administrative team. For further assistance, contact vienna@almamater.at
