General Guidelines
- Teaching and/or other activities are part of a PhD's work / education.
- Educational support activities do not necessarily need to relate to the topic of the PhD.
- PhD candidates get Doctoral school credits for educational support.
- At GRS, PhD candidates are expected to provide educational support during the first 3.5 years of their PhD.
- Supervisors must inform PhD candidates about the expected support
- The department strives to the most balanced distribution of education support hours
- If the contract of a PhD is converted to a postdoc (PD) position, it is preferred to maintain the existing schedule also after promotion.
Hours =
- Approximately 10-15% of the working time of a PhD (170 - 250 hours) should be spent on educational support
- Compensation of above average hours of previous years is not possible
- Above average of hours can only be assigned in consultation with and with mutual agreement of advisor & PD/PhD (with max 10-15% of working hours)
Planning Process
- The starting point for the planning of educational support in a new academic year is last year's schedule
- In principle PhD’s & PD’s stay with the same courses throughout their doctoral education
- Planning of educational activities should be done together with the supervisors, to minimize delays.
- Preferences of PhD’s/PD’s/Lecturers will be taken into account where possible
- Only new PhD’s/PD are asked for their course preferences
- Lead course instructor aligns with co-lecturers, PhD’s/PD’s and advisors when changes occur (i.e. proposed changes in draft education list)
- Interim changes should not be intercept by hiring student assistants
Timeline
- May: PhD’s/PD’s are added to the list & asked for their course preferences
- June: concept list with proposed changes for the new academic year is sent to everyone for input.
- End August: final schedule
- After August: PhD’s and/or course instructors coordinate new changes themselves
