Selection committee

After the profile report and the vacancy text have been approved by the Faculty Board, the Faculty Board appoints a selection committee based on nominations by the profile report committee. The selection committee is tasked with recruiting an Assistant Professor, based on the profile report and the vacancy text. The selection committee consists of 7 members, including:

• the scientific director of the research institute with the vacancy (Committee Chair)

• the education director of the research institute

• one academic from another research institute within FSE (preferably)

• one academic in the rank of Full Professor from outside the University of Groningen

• one student.

The committee must have a majority of Full Professors and be sufficiently diverse; it must at least include two women, but preferably more. An HR Advisor advises and supports the selection committee.

The selection committee concludes the selection process by submitting its nomination and the relevant documentation to the Faculty Board.
