Doctorate without an employment con- tract at the University of Basel The doctoral candidate is not employed at the University of Basel and therefore responsible to secure his/her own fund- ing of the doctorate. The maximum term of employment is four years. If it is absolutely necessary for scientific training, and in par- ticular if family responsibilities are involved, the appointment may be extended by a maximum of one further year in justified cases. If the extension of the contract is viewed critically by the first supervisor and/or the person responsible for the position, an interview in the extended circle (usually the whole doctoral committee; see process) and in addition, written information (e-mail and filing in the e-dossier) at least two months before the end of the contract, are mandatory; three months are recommended. Non-extension of a structural position must be justified in writing by the doctoral committee and submitted to the faculty’s Doctoral Board. The doc- toral study regulations apply. In any case, according to the employment contract, the employment of the doc- toral candidate ends automatically at the latest six months after completion of the doctorate – except in the event of illness and/or parental leave. In addition to the doctoral agreement, the doctoral candidate will receive an information sheet about all the advisory services available at the University of Basel.
