Tenue-Track
New Research Focus Areas at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning
Through the establishment of tenured positions, the faculty aims to develop new research focus areas or strengthen existing ones. The process for filling these positions involves a multi-stage, internationally oriented application and selection process designed to attract the best talent and thereby further enhance the faculty’s research capabilities.
