The GDCh collects data at irregular intervals with the support of the deaneries of the chemical faculties at German universities to prepare the survey on habilitations, junior professorships and the proportion of women among professors. From 2020 (survey period 2019), additional data will be collected on postdocs 1 and senior postdocs 2 as well as junior research group leaders.
At the end of 2004, the GDCh collected data on habilitations, postdoctoral candidates and junior professorships at German universities for the first time. The proportion of female C3 and C4 professors was also surveyed. The results were published in the following April issue (every two years until 2016) of Nachrichten aus der Chemie.
We would like to thank all contacts involved for their support.
Without you, we would not have been able to conduct this survey every two years since 2004!

1 Postdoc in the sense of this survey: Academic staff who have less than two years of research experience as a postdoc (this does not have to have been at their own university)
2 Senior Postdoc in the sense of this survey: Academic staff who already have more than two years of research experience as a postdoc (this does not have to have been at their own university)
At the end of 2019, there were fewer post-doctoral candidates at German universities than two years ago. For the first time, the number of postdocs, senior postdocs and junior research group leaders was recorded. The number of junior professors is stagnating.
The proportion of women among professors continues to show a positive development. Despite a slight increase, however, this does not yet correspond to the proportion of women among the undergraduate or graduate students.
The complete results of the eighth survey can be found in the "Nachrichten aus der Chemie" issue 10/20 and here as a pdf.

The proportion of women among professors continues to show a positive development.
