Postdoctoral research fellows, who want to become Habilitanden and lecturers (Privatdozenten) should register at the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy, [PhD and Habilitation Office](https://www.cup.lmu.de/en/research/phd-habilitation/phd-and-habilitation-office/)!
The **Habilitation** procedure gives young scientists the opportunity to qualify for calling to a professorship and, for this purpose, to perform tasks in research and teaching independently. For further information on habilitations, please contact the chairs and work groups.
**Privatdozent** (PD) or lecturer, is an academic title conferred at some European universities, especially in German-speaking countries, to someone who holds certain formal qualifications that denote an ability (facultas docendi / Lehrbefähigung - Habilitation) and permission to teach (venia legendi / Lehrbefugnis) a designated subject at the highest level.
