Association of Academic Mid-Level Faculty of the University of Zurich

Information for Candidates

You can find descriptions of the individual commissions with the seats of the junior researchers here. On the right hand side, you can find documents on how to run for office.

Serving on a committee not only allows you to voice the concerns of the junior researchers to decision-making processes at UZH, but it also means you can get better acquainted with the workings of a university and allows you to collaborate with others beyond your own discipline. Likewise, the SNF by now also asks you to list your institutional responsibilities. The amount of work varies from committee to committee – the senate, for example, usually means just one three-hour meeting per semester. In other words, even if you don't have a lot of time, there are possibilities for you to contribute.

For every seat that is advertised, we are also looking for a deputy. You can now also just run for the deputy position.
