Professors or clinical professors who wish to reduce their working hours towards the end of their careers may have the option to transition to a 5–10% professorship. This is subject to individual assessment, including consideration of institutional needs and prior appointments.
Duration of a 5–10% professorship
A 5–10% professorship is a temporary position at the Department of Clinical Research, lasting two years, with the possibility of extension.
Funding of a 5–10% professorship
- If the professorship or clinical professorship is funded by Odense University Hospital (OUH), half of the cost of the 5–10% position will be covered by OUH’s internal research funds. The remaining half must be covered by the department.
- If the professorship or clinical professorship is funded by the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), the position will continue to be fully funded by SDU when converted to a 5–10% appointment.
Reporting structure
The professor reports to the head of research in the relevant department.
Procedure for transitioning to a 5–10% professorship
The department’s management, in agreement with the professor, is responsible for nominating the individual for a 5–10% professorship.
Enquiries should be directed to Head of Department Rikke Leth-Larsen, Department of Clinical Research.
