How long does the application process take?

How long it takes from the application deadline until a decision is made depends on many factors. How many applicants are there? Is it an academic or non-academic staff position or a professorship? On average, it takes at least 6 weeks from the application deadline until a decision on your application is made.

Appointment procedures for professorships can continue for many months due to the number of committees involved in the decision.
