Applications from Disabled Persons
Our university has been recognized with the "Prädikat behindertenfreundlich" for its efforts to train and employ disabled persons. We particularly desire applications from qualified disabled persons. This also applies for equals with a disability degree between 30 and 50. You can refer to Sozialgesetzbuch Neun (§2 SGB IX) to find out which individuals this includes.
If you, as a disabled individual, have the right to compensation for any disadvantages or particular conditions during the selection process (e.g. sign language interpreter, an individual test, longer test time), please provide us with the corresponding proof. Make arrangements for the alternative conditions before you take the test. If you are interested in a posted position, please submit the proof (e.g. the Feststellungsbescheid eines Versorgungsamtes) to the RWTH Aachen Staff Disabilities Liaison as early as possible.
