Equal care shall be given to the assessment of pedagogical excellence and scientific excellence. When weighing these two assessment criteria, scientific excellence shall be given the greatest weight. The content of the position and the needs of the operation provide further justification for the weighting of assessment criteria below. When assessing scientific excellence, particular weight shall be placed on: - Research excellence within the field of pedagogical studies with focus on the aesthetic subjects of visual art, music, and craft. Scientific excellence across a broad range of this field is particularly meritorious. - Ability to successfully lead research groups or research networks. When assessing scientific excellence, considerable weight shall be placed on: - Ability to successfully obtain external research funding. - Collaboration with the surrounding society. When assessing pedagogical excellence, particular weight shall be placed on: - Pedagogical excellence within the field of pedagogical studies with focus on the aesthetic subjects of visual art, music, and craft. When assessing pedagogical excellence, considerable weight shall be placed on: - Breadth of subject expertise within aesthetic subjects as well as scientific methods and theories. - Breadth of experience in teaching at all levels within teacher education. - Ability to successfully supervise within doctoral education. Contributing to the development of the research environment and doctoral education within pedagogical studies, as well as planning and implementing teaching, requires close collaboration with colleagues.
