Salary
The research assistant can be given hourly salary or monthly salary. In case of the former, the research assistant will register their work hours by themselves in the self-service portal by the end of every month; in the latter case, the research assistant will work a set amount of time every month which the PI and the research assistant have agreed upon beforehand. The PI signs off on the timesheet at the end of every month. The following pay levels apply:
| Degree | Employment code | Pay level |
|---|---|---|
| No BA | SKO1018 | 38 |
| BA | SKO1019 | 44 |
| MA | SKO1020 | 51 |
Workspace and equipment
Due to a shortage of office space, research assistants will not be given a workspace at IKOS. Furthermore, the department will not be providing equipment for the assistant, and it is expected that the research assistant use their private devices for work.
Praxis at IKOS
Keep in mind that if the assistant is to perform largely administrative tasks with little scientific or artistic content, as required in the above-mentioned article, a different position code is to be used. This is to avoid the chance of the assistant losing the possibility to continue performing research assistant tasks at a later date, as research assistants have a maximum employment tenure of 2 years.
