Today, I have finished ther ancient and rather anachronistic procedure of habilitation. First, I had to show that I had enough teaching experience and then write a habilitation monograph which, thankfully, consisted of summarizing and discussing a selection of my publications. Then I had to wait for a long time and in this time do some more teaching. After the teaching I had to show that I could also teach about subjects which were far outside of my area of expertise, so I talked about "Microbe wars: the ecology and toxicology of bacterial toxins".
Finally, after about 25 minutes of questions after this 30 minute lecture and an additional deliberation time for the committee, I was handed the habilitation diploma:
So now I'm officially allowed to apply for tenured professorships in Germany (if there were any which would suit my specialty, that is) . In about 4 weeks time, I will be allowed to call myself not only Dr. Brembs, but even Dr. habil. Brembs. Not that anybody really cares, lol
