Welcome to the International Staff at AAU

Aalborg University warmly welcomes international academic and administrative staff.

With approximately 2,500 salaried staff and a number of more loosely affiliated staff, Aalborg University is one of the largest workplaces in North Jutland. Most AAU staff are located at AAU's Aalborg addresses. The university also has campi in Esbjerg and Ballerup and departments in Hørsholm and Hirtshals.

Many interesting challenges are encountered in a so-called multi-campi university, but the university functions as one united organisation. All staff therefore share the same good working and employment conditions, irrespective of location of employment.

AAU staff are the key to success

At Aalborg University we are aware that human resources are the key to success. It is essential to AAU that staff are provided with possibilities to develop their personal and professional competences. AAU staff should have the possibility to try their strength against a wide variety of tasks in their own jobs and in the organisation at large.

Aalborg University is characterised by a multitude of tasks. The university is a collaboration partner in the North Jutland area and an international actor in significant research fields. Tasks at AAU range from practical necessities to specialised research at top level, from theoretical discussions to concrete problem solutions within all fields. The large number of AAU staff attend to all tasks at a high professional level.

Therefore you may cherish an ever interesting workplace whose core product is new knowledge. If you have an open mind, you will constantly meet new and interesting colleagues or students, who may often provide a new perspective on your daily work. The common denominator is involvement in what we do as individuals and as a university.

A good working environment for all staff

At AAU we wish to provide all staff with a good and healthy framework for our daily work. The university focuses on job satisfaction, and all AAU employees have a right – but also an obligation to contribute to a good working environment, where staff welfare and development are promoted, and where creativity may flourish. Therefore AAU staff have good options of influence in their daily work and through joint consultative committees and other bodies in which all staff have the possibility to contribute to maintaining and developing Aalborg University as an attractive workplace.

On the HR website much information is available about AAU staff working conditions, and you may read more about for instance employment conditions, holidays, sickness and absence, further education and AAU staff policies.
