The Faculty of Law’s academic career development encompasses all levels of the educational pyramid, from student assistants to assistant professorships, with academic career development being promoted in both research and teaching.
It takes place primarily in the subject groups and at the professorial chairs.
The subject groups make every effort to provide junior researchers with a permanent contact person to assist them with career planning, obtaining funding, involvement in teaching, publications and conference participation. In the case of teaching and research assistants, care is taken to ensure that one-third of the available research time is set aside for them to work on their PhD thesis. The institutionalized doctoral colloquia and the promotion of international networking are a further important element.
Junior researchers also receive support in the various faculty research centers and the cross-faculty UZH Graduate Campus platform.
The Vice Dean and the Management Office of the Vice Dean provide advice on the financing of academic careers (cf. PDF entitled “Financing PhD and Postdoctoral Research”) and regular information about various relevant offers that come to their attention (call for papers, grants, etc.).
The following funding is available to junior researchers at the Faculty of Law. The Management Office of the Vice Dean will be happy to provide information in this regard.
The Vice Dean Professor Helmut Heiss is also available as a contact person in case of conflict between junior researchers and their supervisors, if these cannot be solved bilaterally.
Consultations in cases of sexual harassment are available with Professor Brigitte Tag and with MLaw Sina Staudinger. Link. Professor Brigitte Tag is the person responsible for investigations into cases under the RSB (“Regulations for Protection against Sexual Harassment at UZH”) and MLaw Sina Staudinger is executive director of the RSB Link Committee
