Postdoctoral members of ViDSS Supervisory Teams

The ViDSS supports close supervision, preferably by supervision teams which may comprise also advanced postdoctoral researchers.

A ViDSS Supervisory Team consists of all formally registered supervisors and co-supervisors of a student member of the Vienna Doctoral School of Social Sciences (ViDSS). In addition, postdoctoral non-tenured staff members who cannot take the role of an officially registered postdoctoral co-supervisor as specified in the Statutes of the University of Vienna (§ 15 (11)) may join a ViDSS Supervisory Team if this is considered appropriate and helpful. Postdoctoral members of ViDSS Supervisory Teams consent to the Code of Good Practice for Doctoral Schools, including the addendum Responsibilities of postdoctoral members of ViDSS Supervisory Teams. An application for membership of a ViDSS Supervisory Team for a postdoctoral researcher can be submitted at any time after the conclusion of the doctoral thesis agreement.

Please note that postdoctoral members of ViDSS Supervisory Teams are not co-supervisors (“Mitbetreuer*innen”) as specified in the Statutes of the University of Vienna and will therefore not be named on the title page of a completed dissertation.
