ACADEMIC CAREERS IN EUROPE GEBUNDEN

This book explores the perceptions of academic staff and representatives of institutional
leadership about the changes in academic careers and academic work experienced in recent years.
It emphasizes standardisation and differentiation of academic career paths  impacts of new
forms of quality management on academic work  changes in recruitment  employment and working
conditions  and academics' perceptions of their professional contexts. The book demonstrates a
growing diversity within the academic profession and new professional roles inhabiting a space
which is neither located in the core business of teaching and research nor at the top level
management and leadership. The new higher education professionals tend to be important change
agents within the higher education institutions not only fulfilling service and bridging
functions but also streamlining academic work to make a contribution to the reputation and
competitiveness of the institution as a whole. Based on interviews with academic staff  this
book explores the situation in eight European countries: Austria  Croatia  Finland  Germany 
Ireland  Poland  Romania  and Switzerland.
