Subject specialization may refer to a completed degree at the doctoral level. In addition to academic merit, experience from other activities, including for example technology development, may be considered.

Pedagogical competence refers to educational and teaching merit.

Administrative competence is significant for the position and will be given great weight. Administrative competence is demonstrated, among other things, by the ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work in an effective and purpose-adapted manner, as well as by the ability to set and adhere to timeframes. The competence includes overall operational planning and the ability to handle resources in a way that reflects the organization's priorities, as well as the ability to work structured and with an awareness of goals and quality.
