Selection Procedures

The European University adheres to a rigorously defined personnel selection protocol, ensuring equitable, transparent competitions and the enlistment of apt candidates. Reflecting its academic focus, our institution employs both administrative personnel and academic as well as visiting lecturers.

Holding an Academic Position:

• Only open competitions can fill academic positions, adhering to principles of transparency, equality, and fair competition. Competition details and prerequisites are publicized a minimum of one month prior to the document submission deadline.
• Academic position candidates undergo evaluations based on submitted documentation and a demonstrative lecture.
• An assistant or assistant professor is elected to their respective roles for a 4-year tenure.
• Associate professors have terms spanning a minimum of 4 years, while professors have a tenure of 5 years.

Holding the Position of Guest Lecturer:

• A guest lecturer must possess a relevant education or qualification, holding at least a master's degree or an equivalent academic accolade, and demonstrating pertinent knowledge and expertise required for the course.
• Guest lecturer positions can be attained either via open competitions or through recommendations (predicated upon a search initiated by the program head).

Holding an Administrative Position:

The university has delineated role descriptions and qualification prerequisites for its administrative/support staff. Filling an open administrative position may be facilitated by:

• Internal rotation
• Recommendations
• Announcing an open competition.

At European University, we believe that every member of our community deserves fair and adequate compensation. That’s why we guarantee that all staff and faculty receive at least the local living wage.

The minimum salary of administrative personnel at our university is 1,000 GEL per month after taxes, which exceeds the local poverty line as defined by Georgian national standards. This policy ensures that our employees can cover basic living costs and maintain a decent standard of living.

By prioritizing fair compensation, European University not only supports the well-being of its staff but also strengthens the foundation for a motivated and committed academic community.
