The extension will be made on the new terms of employment.
The person remains employed at the previous terms of employment until they leave.
If the employment relationship still exists at the end of 2024, it will be continued under the new terms of employment from January 1, 2025.
The scope and nature of the teaching and other tasks will be set out in the individual outline of rights and responsibilities.
The position can now be filled within the framework of a two-year pilot project as a "Temporary Teaching & Research Staff". The maximum duration of the fixed-term contract is two years.
No. Although both are qualification positions with the aim of obtaining a doctoral degree, the positions have different general conditions.
At an employment level of 40 %, the protected time for teaching and research assistants is at least 30 % of a full-time equivalent, i.e. 1.5 working days. For doctoral candidates, the protected time is 40 % of a full-time equivalent, i.e. the entire working time.
If the degree of employment is 70 % or less, the total working time corresponds to protected time.
The protected time is 70 % of a full-time equivalent, even with a higher level of employment.
Yes, but the additionally compensated activities must be relevant to the qualification. In addition, the higher protected time must also be observed for teaching and research assistants in the event of an increase of the employment level. For teaching and research assistants, the protected time is defined relative to the employment level. For activities that are not relevant to their qualification, people can be employed in the new "Temporary Teaching & Research Staff" position (for a maximum of two years).
A teaching and research assistantship or doctoral position is only externally funded if the source of funding is external, i.e. comes from a legal entity other than UZH (e.g. Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF). Special funding within UZH is therefore UZH-funded employment, e.g. funding from central, strategic programs such as the Digital Society Initiative (DSI) or University Research Funding (UFO).
No. FCS scholarship holders can continue to be employed as teaching and research assistants with an employment level that is lower than the prescribed minimum employment level. Fur-ther information on this can be found in the fact sheet "FCS Scholarship Holders (fact sheet)".
The PhD candidate and the supervisor can agree and establish how the number of hours spent on teaching and other tasks will be distributed over the years of employment in the individual outline of rights and responsibilities. However, both parties must always be in agreement.
