Tenure-track programmes are a good way for promising researchers to embark on an academic career. In offering attractive career prospects, they allow universities to compete for talent internationally and they help to build a more mobile research work force in Europe and beyond.
Providing a more structured and accelerated path for those aspiring to an academic career, tenure track is fairly new in Europe, in comparison with North America where it has been for decades the back bone of academic recruitment and career progression, even though it has come under pressure there. Tenure track in the European context is defined in the LERU paper as a fixed-term contract (usually for three to six or more years) leading to a permanent position at a higher level if the candidate receives a positive evaluation. The LERU paper uses its own and the European Commission’s four-stage classification of researchers’ career stages, with tenure tracks spanning the third and fourth stages.
A survey of the 21 LERU universities in ten countries shows that three countries do not have tenure track as such (France, Spain and UK), although the LERU universities there have other schemes for young faculty. In the other countries (Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland), tenure track programmes have been developed in various ways and along three basic models, which are described in detail in the paper.
