Taking up employment by doctoral students | Gdańsk University of Technology

We would like to remind you that doctoral students at doctoral schools may not be employed as academic teachers or research staff. This prohibition includes a contract of employment, a contract of mandate, a contract to perform a specific task, as well as the provision of services on this account as part of a business activity.

Violation of this prohibition is a prerequisite for the removal of a doctoral student from the list of doctoral students.

This prohibition shall not apply to the employment of a doctoral student

• in order to carry out a research project,
• following a successful mid-term evaluation,
• who is not entitled to a doctoral scholarship (concerning persons with a doctoral degree).

However, employment in the project or after the mid-term evaluation may affect the amount of the doctoral scholarship to which such doctoral student is normally entitled.
