Service Conditions and Caveats

• Project appointment: This is a contractual engagement linked to the advertised research project. The notice gives a duration of three years.
• Permanent appointment: Taking up this role does not give you a right to a permanent university appointment. Consider it as a project engagement when planning your next research move.
• Termination: The university can end the engagement without giving a reason, with one week’s notice. This condition applies even though the advertised project duration is longer.
• Service rules: The university’s rules and, where applicable, the funding agency’s rules govern the engagement. Amendments made to those rules can also apply during your service.
• Travel costs: The university will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview or joining the post. You should account for those expenses yourself.
• Accuracy of information: The application declaration makes you responsible for the information you provide. Incorrect statements or concealed facts can lead to cancellation of your candidature.
• Further notices: Any corrigendum connected with this advertisement will appear on the university website. Check that source for changes affecting your application.
