19 hours ago comment added LuxGiammi To learn the local language in 2-3 years is ok IMO if they provide language courses (when I visit other countries I like a bit more the ones where I can speak even a tiny bit of the local language). Despite the fact that I am very far from applying for professorship (I am a PhD student), this has shed some light on a possible issue that I may have to solve in the future. Thanks for your answers.
yesterday comment added Mathguest @LuxGiammi Resonating N.I.'s comment, let me point out that something that I'm observing my EU-wide job search. In many jobs in Germany and Austria as well some Nordic countries (have also seen this for a job in Czech Republic), they'll expect you to learn the local language within first 2-3 years. But these jobs are university-specific most of the time, unlike a nationwide competition like MCF in France. Strangely enough, there are a few jobs in Italy and Portugal where the applicant wan't supposed to have the knowledge of the local language.
yesterday comment added N. I. No, there are big variations between countries. I'm talking about France, and specifically math departments, who often have huge teaching loads and need people who can hit the ground running. If someone cannot teach their 192h then other people need to do it instead, we can't waste job funding like that.
yesterday comment added LuxGiammi Is it like this everywhere? I mean, do you need to be able to speak the local language in order to be an [associate/full/assistant] professor in a University?
