In the German higher education system, a habilitation is a post-doctoral qualification which officially certifies one’s ability to independently and responsibly conduct research and provide instruction in an academic/scientific subject (teaching qualification). By earning a habilitation, the post-doctoral candidate receives permission to teach the subject in question (venia legendi), and the right to bear the title “Privatdozent/-in”, comparable to an “assistant professor” in Anglo-Saxon countries.
