Up to nine of the new positions will become converted into permanent W2/W3professorships and transferred to University funding by 2011. Specifically, two W2/W3 positionswill be provided by the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences, four by the Faculty of Mathematics andNatural Sciences, and three additional positions by the Faculties of Engineering, the Faculty ofBusiness, Economics, and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Law (Table 7).InstitutionLeibniz Institute of Marine Sciences (IFM-GEOMAR) 2CAU: Mathematics and Natural Sciences 4CAU: Engineering 1CAU: Law 1CAU: Economics 1Total 9Table 7: Permanent W2/W3 professor positions provided by the University and the Leibniz Instituteof Marine Sciences for the transfer of new junior professorships to in-house funding.Moreover, there will be an option to create an additional W2-position for law of the sea using fundsfrom the innovation pool of Schleswig-Holstein.
