Auf UN-Posten folgt Professur: Professorin ohne Forscherkarriere? Baerbocks neuer Job
Annalena Baerbock bleibt nach dem Amt bei den UN in New York. An der renommierten Columbia University übernimmt sie eine Professur. Eine klassische wissenschaftliche Laufbahn braucht sie dafür nicht.
Annalena Baerbock, the former German foreign minister, is set to take up a professorship at Columbia University in New York following her UN position. The news was reported by the Deutsche Presse-Agentur through informed sources. She will become a Professor of Professional Practice, a title given to individuals who possess extensive professional expertise but may not have the scientific training typical of research professors. This designation appears on Columbia University's website.
The multi-year position is considered a practice-oriented professorship rather than a traditional research professorship. The university lists potential career paths for program graduates, including government, international organizations, business, journalism, and law. Notably, Hillary Clinton held a similar position at Columbia University in 2023.
Baerbock's professorship will coincide with her one-year term as the President of the UN General Assembly, which officially concludes on September 8th. Khalilur Rahman of Bangladesh will succeed her in that role. The university program targets professionals with at least a decade of work experience.
