Proceedings for appointment as professor

In the procedure for appointment as a professor, the pedagogical and scientific or artistic qualifications of a candidate who is a distinguished and recognised scientific or artistic personality in his/her field are demonstrated. A prerequisite for the initiation of the procedure is the previous appointment as associate professor on the basis of a habilitation procedure, provided that this included the submission of a habilitation thesis. In exceptional cases, where someone who is already a professor at a renowned university abroad is proposed for a professorship, the Rector, on the proposal of the scientific or artistic board of the university, may waive the previous appointment as associate professor as a prerequisite for the commencement of the procedure for appointment as professor.

The procedure for appointment as professor shall be initiated on the proposal of the candidate supported by at least two written opinions of professors in the same or a related field or on the proposal of the dean submitted to the scientific council of the faculty. The procedure may also be initiated by the Faculty's Scientific Council on its own initiative. The proposal shall include annexes in accordance with the guidelines, which should be submitted to kvalifikace@fi.muni.cz.
