1 For readers not familiar with the German university system, it might be helpful to point out that an assistant plays a tricky and difficult role in a quasi-feudal hierarchy. He or she is honoured by the appointment, since we only take the very best; but once they are appointed, they are totally dependent on their professor. They are expected to support their professor in all academic duties and this very professor is the one who will have a decisive vote on the assistant's doctoral or “habilitation” success. A wonderful system in some cases, a terrible one in others.Google Scholar
