Information for applicants
For your application to a position at the Cluster of Excellenzce „Transforming Human Rights“, you may voluntarily provide supplementary information relating to your career or special personal circumstances if you feel that this information may be relevant to the evaluation of your academic or otherwise professional achievements. Examples of special personal circumstances or delays include periods of absence due to care responsibilities, chronic/long-term illness, a disability or pandemic-related downtimes. Time delays in a career may also be indicated, e.g. for persons who are the first in their families to pursue an academic career (“first-generation academics”), for various compulsory and voluntary services, language acquisition, migration or integration phases, displacement or asylum procedures.
This allows such things as biographical peculiarities or unavoidable delays in your career to be appropriately taken into account in your favor as part of the review and comparative assessment.
If you wish to provide such information, please use encrypted e-mail (sent to the Equity & Diversity Coordinator, Nadja.kutscher@fau.de) or send a message with the word “Application folder” as subject line to the same e-mail address – you will then receive an invitation to a digital folder where you can upload your information
The information you share in this way will only be seen by the reviewers and be deleted right after the selection process.
An alternative to sharing information in writing is to schedule a call or Zoom meeting with the Equity and Diversity Coordinator to share it in conversation only. Feel free to reach out any time with questions about this or to schedule a meeting to: Nadja.kutscher@fau.de
