Council for mid-level academics

The entirety of all academic employees with a doctorate form the so-called Council for mid-level academics and elect a representative body from their ranks consisting of three spokespersons.

The spokespersons are responsible for accepting inquiries to the Council for mid-level academics, informing the Council about current issues and developments and maintaining regular contact with the Senate representatives of academic employees.

The spokespersons can set up working groups on specific topics and forward the results of these working groups to the relevant university bodies and hold discussions with the university management. They also prepare the general meetings of the Council for mid-level academics and, if necessary, adopt resolutions by electronic circulation procedure and chair the general meetings. According to the statutes, the Council for mid-level academics should meet at least once a semester.

The spokespersons are

  • Katrin Vogt (Biology)
  • Elisabeth Maué (Empirical Educational Research)
  • Joost Woltering (Biology)

We are happy to welcome anyone who would like to get involved in the Council for mid-level academics! You are welcome to send us an e-mail.
