So it appears that the requirement as stated in Wikipedia is not strict. I could go change it right now, but I feel the WP police will change it back because I don't have a source to cite :-). | |

When I asked the question, I had assumed that whatever hurdle a "foreign" senior researcher would need to get the job in the first place would also cover the ability to do activities like supervising. | |
| Apr 28, 2015 at 8:38 | comment | added | Kimball | In that case, I'm a little confused---is it a federal law to have a Habilitation for certain things (which I guess would be inflexible, though perhaps not enforces) or a university requirement (which might be flexible)? | |
| Apr 28, 2015 at 8:32 | comment | added | Christian Clason | The sentences are correct as stated; my point was that it is up to the hiring committee to interpret them (in some case liberally, in other cases less so). My answer was focusing on the position aspect since that seemed to be your main question; the activities aspect is slightly different. I you wish, I can expand on this a bit. | |
| Apr 28, 2015 at 8:22 | comment | added | Kimball | Thanks. My question was predicated on a couple of sentences from the Wikipedia article: The award of the French Habilitation is a strict requirement for supervising PhD students and applying for Professeur position, as well as In order to hold the rank of Professor within the German system, in some scientific branches it is still necessary to have attained the Habilitation, but perhaps these sentences should be interpreted somewhat liberally. | |
