How to become a professor

There are different ways of becoming a professor at ITC. For some, the professorship is the culmination of years of hard work in a tenure track. Others get there by simply applying for a professor position on offer, either as an ITC insider or as an external candidate. For still others, being appointed professor is primarily based on merit and track record. But how does it all work in practice? What do people with professorial ambitions really have to go through? Which route do they follow, what obstacles do they encounter and what does actually becoming a professor bring them in the end? To answer these and similar questions, we interviewed five recently appointed ITC professors about their experiences. On this page, we will be publishing their personal stories one by one as the year progresses.

In the end, there is only one thing that really counts at ITC – to make a difference by contributing to a better world and a fair society. So if you're thinking about going for a professorship here, whether as an ITC colleague or from a position outside our faculty, trust me; it will be worth it.
