Teaching Assistantships for International Doctoral Researchers at RUB

Funding

Teaching Assistantships are funded with 430,- Euro/month for a lecture period of 4 months per term (a total of 1.720,- € per term).

5 Teaching Assistantships are awarded for each term with a funding period of 4 months for each lecture period (summer term: April - July; winter term: October - January).

The funding will be awarded as a “Lehrauftrag” at RUB.

Eligibility

All international doctoral researchers at RUB who are not already engaged in the teaching activities of their chair by a working contract are eligible to apply.

Teaching Assistantships support international doctoral researchers to gain first or advanced teaching experiences. Therefore, international doctoral researchers can apply who have not been involved in teaching at RUB until their application or who will take over new, additional or higher-level teaching responsibilities that help them to advance and expand their teaching experiences (funding of teaching acitivites that already have been taken over by the applicants in former terms will not be funded).

Please note that doctoral researchers who apply for funding have to be registered in the doctoral database of RUB.

International guest doctoral researchers who stay at RUB at least for one term are also eligible to apply.
