IV.5.2. Programme for young female researchers and teachers – II competition

A female researcher who is on an academic leave of absence may apply to the programme; the developmental activities which are carried out in the Programme (in accordance with the Description of the programme in Section 2) are not work tasks (completing work-related tasks).

In accordance with labour law, it is necessary to forego an academic leave of absence in the event of circumstances which do not permit the leave to be used in accordance with its purpose, e.g., a temporary inability to work due to illness, maternity leave, or the necessity to complete work responsibilities.

The table shows the applicant’s research activities. It is necessary to include all of the projects in which the researcher has participated (or is currently participating) in the specified capacity.

Funding for some of the research projects may have been obtained by the researcher herself; in that case, information on that subject will again be included in the second table.

The table shows the activities of the researcher in obtaining funding. Only applications initiated by the researcher herself should be included.

Yes, the applications may include those which have not yet been approved. In the “Result” column, you should write “Unapproved” (Note: that option has not been included in the form).

In a situation where, at the institution awarding the doctoral degree, the content of the dissertation review is not made available to the author of the dissertation, we recommend applying the solution described in Art. 7, section 3, point 2 of the competition rules for a similar situation, i.e. obtaining a doctoral degree at an institution that does not require a review of the dissertation. You should then attach an explanation to your application. It will also be helpful if you include the message you received from the university.

Please note that, alternatively, a review of the candidate’s chosen publication is allowed to be attached to the application.

Pursuant to section 6 para. 3 point 1 of the Rules for the 1st competition, the researcher should be employed at the time of submitting an application form.

Pursuant to section 6 para. 4, the condition for participation in the Programme is remaining employed at UW throughout the entire period, from the date of submitting the application to the completion, which is affirmed in section 2 para. 3 point 3, which refers to loss of employment at UW among the reasons for ending one’s participation in the programme.

Simultaneously, the rules foresee a simplified procedure for restoring participation in the Programme (section 6 para. 5) in case of a participant’s loss of employment at UW.

Pursuant to section 3 para. 1 point 2, the mentor will be chosen for the researchers by the organiser from among experienced employees of UW. Although there are plans to gather information from the participants concerning their preferences, there is no possibility of guaranteeing all of the participants’ expectations, including choices of particular people.

The application form does not provide any space for a bibliography. The candidate may not add her own section to the document templates provided in the competition announcement.

Yes

Yes, documents can be signed with a qualified signature if the signatory has one.

Given that the rules clearly indicate which reviews will be taken into account, it is difficult to determine whether the document you are writing about will be taken into account by the Programme Board. If you decide to include this document, please include the required explanation at the same time.

Yes, the competition rules in the paragraph mentioned mention the possibility of excluding from the 7-year period a period of 12 months for each born or adopted child, without attaching additional conditions to this exclusion.

Yes, as much as possible, just pay attention to the timeframe. In the Individual Research Plan, we ask for a plan within the next 24 months.

Please note that this is simply a continuation of the preceding text, which may (depending on your printer settings) show up on a separate line when printed. “Labour Code” is the name of the law to which we refer, while the notation “if applicable” means that researchers who have not been on the listed leaves during the period since obtaining their doctoral degree do not fill in this field.

There is no time limit.

Yes, of course, the application can be in both Polish and English.

It can add more points.

Only one review can be attached to an application

No such guidelines are available

The table can be expanded to include further items.

If you are not assigned to the N-researchers group, then unfortunately you cannot take part in the competition.

In the 2nd edition of the competition, an opinion on the Individual Research Plan is not required.
