VAUZ is the abbreviation for Association of Junior Researchers of the University of Zurich.
VAUZ is an association and represents the concerns of doctoral students, assistants and scientific staff on qualification positions within and outside the University of Zurich.
VAUZ was founded on July 11, 1968 by 106 mid-level faculty members who wanted to represent their scientific and professional interests at UZH and in public.
The following persons belong to the middle-level staff:
1. the VAUZ represents the scientific and professional interests of the entire academic mid-level staff of all faculties, both at the University of Zurich and in public.
2. it advocates that the academic staff be granted their rightful position at the university with appropriate co-determination in research, teaching, service and university self-administration.
3) The VAUZ issues statements on university policy issues in general and in particular on those concerning the University of Zurich. In this way, it can advise the management of the UZH on how to promote the academic mid-level faculty.
4) The VAUZ informs its members regularly about university and university policy issues.
5. the VAUZ elects delegates to university committees and commissions at its annual general meeting. The VAUZ delegates represent the interests of the academic mid-level staff there. The university provides a list of the UZH commissions and their tasks on its website.
Today, the VAUZ is an indispensable, formative shaper of the UZH. In countless meetings, an impressive number of members of the UZH mid-level staff worked for the prosperous development of the university over decades.
1. The VAUZ takes a stand on university consultations and the members of the board represent the mid-level staff in all university committees. In this way, VAUZ ensures that the position of the mid-level staff at UZH remains good and becomes even better!
2. Many demands are made on the mid-level faculty: from teaching to administration, to supporting the professors in their research. Where should there be time for their own research activities? In these situations, VAUZ is committed to improving the position of each individual member of the mid-level faculty.
As a mid-level expert, VAUZ offers valuable advice and active support in questions and problems regarding employment, job specifications and the position as a member of the UZH mid-level faculty. The VAUZ is always ready to listen.
4) The VAUZ provides quick and competent information on topics concerning the academic mid-level staff.
Under the label 'Zurich Academics', VAUZ, AVETH and the UZH Graduate Campus organize social events for the academic mid-level staff. The events are not only a place to celebrate, but also to strengthen or establish new private and professional relationships.
6 VAUZ administers a fund for the promotion of junior academic events. Members of the mid-level staff can apply to this fund for money for their projects.
If you are a member of the UZH mid-level staff, you can become an active member of VAUZ and stand for election to university committees and commissions at the UZh election of the delegates of the representative bodies.
