Terms of funding

The collective agreements, the new pay system (UPJ) and other terms of employment in force at the site of research shall be complied with in the salaries of any personnel hired with Academy funding and in any other terms of such employment.

The Academy recommends that Academy-funded researchers with a doctorate provide teaching or supervision of thesis and dissertation writers associated with their own research, covering 5 per cent of their annual working hours, without separate compensation. However, researchers should spend no more than 10 per cent of their annual working hours on teaching or other tasks not directly associated with their own research.

If Academy-funded doctoral candidates provide teaching, it should be associated with their own research and make up no more than 5 per cent of their annual working hours. Teaching must not delay the completion of a doctoral dissertation.
