Deutscher Hochschulverband

Welcome to the German Association of University Professors and Lecturers

The German Association of University Professors and Lecturers (Deutscher Hochschulverband, in short DHV) represents more than 30.000 members. It provides comprehensive information and services for university professors and up-and-coming academics in Germany.

Are you considering becoming a researcher in Germany? Are you looking for a professorship or a postdoc position at a German university or non-university research institution and have lots of questions?

The German Association of University Professors and Lecturers (DHV) is the professional association for academics in Germany. We are a comprehensive service and information organization and represent the political, legal and economic interests of academics vis-à-vis the state and society.

As a professional association of scientists, it is important to us to provide professors, postdocs, habilitation candidates, junior professors and junior research group leaders at universities or non-university research institutions with the best possible support on their academic path. We offer these individuals advice, coaching, seminars, regularly updated calls for applications and many other career-supporting services such as the assessment of application documents.

In this way, we help scientists every day to master their personal best academic career path in Germany.

Become a member of the DHV and get advice on your first steps in the German academic system.
