Young academics use data set to check government promise to create more long-term jobs
Two groups representing early career researchers have launched a project to count and visualise the amount of academic positions in Germany that will lead to a tenure track position.
The German Association of Junior Professors (DGJ) and the Young Academy are taking data from the federal government’s tenure-track programme, the Nachwuchspakt. On a dedicated website, the partners are tracking where positions are currently open, and which have been filled.
