These rules are particularly important since they concern future academic careers. They define in particular the selection criteria applicable to tenure track assistant professors (PATT).
Due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the present rules and regulations aim to implement an exceptional extension to the deadlines regarding mid-term reviews and the submission of applications as provided for in the Rules and Regulations Concerning EPFL Tenure-Track Assistant Professors of 4th May 2004 (LEX 4.2.1), as well as other suitable arrangements relating to Tenure-Track Assistant Professors.
These rules specify the process of the appointment of an associate professor to the post of full professor and the evaluation criteria.
The strict rules applicable to the buyback facilities concerning faculty pension funds contribute directly to the attractiveness and competitiveness of EPFL on a worldwide level.
Research leave, more commonly known as sabbatical leave, allows faculty members to supplement their knowledge or acquire new skills necessary in their teaching and research field or in a new domain that has been allocated to them.
Visiting professors, who generally come from abroad, are entitled to special conditions regarding work and allowances.
This document stipulates EPFL policy concerning professors emeritus, especially with regard to specific activities, remuneration, workplaces, facilities, secretarial services, management of mandates and subsidies, and participation in congresses. It also states the obligations of the professor emeritus.
This Directive governs the evaluation process and criteria as well as the general terms and conditions for the appointment of professors who remain in their post beyond the legal retirement age.
The aim of this directive is to specify the academic level and promote the career and professional mobility of scientists. EPFL therefore defines academic titles corresponding to different levels, establishing the process for the awarding of these titles. It deals with academic titles only. It does not deal with the function or employment conditions of scientists.
