The Central PhD Council (CPC) is looking for a new representative for the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (FMG)! The CPC serves the interest of all PhD candidates at an administrative level, and is a sounding board for organizational developments concerning PhD candidates within the university and the faculty.
What are you going to do
For a period of two years, you will collaborate with PhD representatives from the other UvA faculties to represent the needs and wishes from PhDs at the UvA by providing (un)solicited advice to various bodies of the university.
As FMG representative in the UvA Central PhD Council, you will:
Other tasks, all related to the PhD trajectory, are shared within the CPC team. Further, you focus on PhD representation within your own faculty via the existing structures, such as the FMG PhD Council.
What are we looking for
If you are part of the FMG PhD Council, this would be considered an advantage. However, this is not a requirement – we do expect you to join the FMG PhD Council.
Our offer
You will gain deep insight into organizational structures of the UvA and you will help to address potential issues that exist within the PhD community. This experience is valuable for a future career at any university or in any other large organization. Further, being a member of the CPC strongly increases your network in the university, and is a good opportunity to meet PhD candidates within and outside of your faculty.
You will get an extra month extension at the end of your PhD contract for every year you serve as a PhD representative (equal to approx. 3-4h a week/0.1 FTE). For guest-status PhD candidates, other arrangements can be made.
