Portal for newly appointed professors
We support you as a professor, W1 professor or administrator of a professorship in the start-up phase to make it easier for you to settle in at the university and in the city of Osnabrück University. Here you will find all events of the program for newly appointed professors. We have also compiled important information on various topics to support you in your day-to-day work.
If you do not yet have access to the intranet, please contact us and we will provide you with the information you require: organisationsentwicklung@uni-osnabrueck.de
Events for new appointees
Workshop: Leadership in Science - Effective organization of your own professorship (registration)
Course: Successful discussions with employees ( registration)
We offer a comprehensive onboarding program to help you get off to a successful start at Osnabrück University.
As part of an initial telephone consultation before you start, we plan the preparatory steps with you and the respective schools and answer your individual questions during the transition phase.
After your start, we will provide you with individual advice to help you quickly familiarize yourself with the organization and structures, tailored to your previous experience and current needs.
We will also be happy to advise you on change processes, leadership issues, conflicts or qualification issues for your own employees. It is also possible to take advantage of external coaching services to reflect on your own issues in a non-university setting.
Commuting & moving
You have the option of applying for a separation allowance or a relocation allowance. Separation allowance is paid for expenses that you incur if you work at a location other than your previous place of employment and your home is neither in the same political municipality as the new place of employment nor in the catchment area. Your home may not be less than 30 kilometers from the new place of employment on a normally drivable route.
If you decide to move to Osnabrück, you can have your relocation costs reimbursed.
Separation allowance and relocation allowance are only paid upon written application. The Lower Saxony State Office for Pay and Pensions (NLBV) lists frequently asked questions and answers about the separation allowance and relocation allowance on its website. Information and applications for the separation allowance and relocation allowance can be found at IT.Niedersachsen.
Family service
The Family Service of the Equal Opportunities Office is available to advise you on issues relating to work-life balance, childcare and schools, caring for relatives and financial and legal issues, such as parental allowance.
The Organizational Development team will be happy to put your partner in touch with internal networks when looking for a job. The service is aimed at all couples, regardless of marital status or sexual orientation.
