Student assistants

Please note that you can NOT hire student assistants yourself, but must use the institute's pool of student assistants. If this pool does not meet your needs, then the above hiring procedure must be used.

If a student assistant has been hired in a fixed-term position without notice, and if the employment is to be extended, the position must be looked up as a permanent position.
For student assistants employed in a permanent position, the position ceases upon the attainment of a master's degree (up to a maximum of 7 years).
