enough to put him among the top level of

academics just yet. Albert still had to teach
classes every week, and he still had to supervise

other students. He wasn’t particularly happy
about this part of the job, since it took him

away from his beloved research.
However, he didn’t remain at the University

of Zurich for very long. Albert was given a full
professorship in 1911 at the

Charles-Ferdinand
University in Prague.

Then he moved yet
again, just a year later,

taking a position at his old
school, Zurich Polytechnic.

He was at the Polytechnic
from 1912 to 1914.

Albert focused his work
particularly on proving some

of his earlier theories. He was
trying to figure out if his ideas

applied to bodies that moved
independently of one another.
