While it’s possible (ain’t no rule against it) to stay at the same university for a decade and get a permanent position, it’s rare - basically it only works for specialist positions that are so unique that there is hardly any competition. Do note that permanent positions are already very sparse in German academia to begin with. | |
| Nov 17 at 17:26 | comment | added | academic | @MisterMiyagi I admit I'm only familiar with the US. Can one expect to be in a postdoc position at the same university for a decade in Germany? | |
| Nov 17 at 16:27 | comment | added | MisterMiyagi | Is this advice actually for Germany? I would be rather surprised if someone would not know their relative salary, or could expect to move to a permanent position soon as a postdoc. Salaries are usually public as per TV, BBesG, and similar; getting a permanent position easily takes a decade if it works out at all. | |
