A university is only as good as its staff.
How do universities ensure their research and teaching remains attractive? Why should key qualifications be encouraged at all levels of university management? What is the best way to encourage junior scholars and develop an appropriate infrastructure? When it comes to preserving and further improving the University of Bayreuth's good reputation, we focus on the most important asset on campus – the people who work here.
It is therefore no wonder that such importance is attached to human resources development across all levels and departments. As one of the region's largest employers, we are committed to providing employees with the right conditions - regardless of their ethnicity, culture, disabilities, or gender - to enable staff members to optimally develop their skills and talents. We want to help you become more enthusiastic about working at the University and help you discover interesting new career perspectives, whether you are active in research, teaching, university management, or the administration.
