are also two compulsory doctoral courses, Teaching, learning and
evaluation and Ethics, science and society. See http://www.ckk.chalmers.se/
Faculty of Science has a compulsory introduction course for PhD
students, and a compulsory course in Teaching Science. See
http://www.science.gu.se/intranet/forskutb/fkurser.shtml
Doctoral studentship
The studentship is normally five years, of which four years are
full time studies. The remaining 20% are teaching and administrative
work. Full time means 40 hours a week. Working hours are based
on the honour system, in which you have full freedom regarding
when and where you do your work within the restrictions of the
operations of the university. There is no overtime compensation.
The first period of employment is one year, the second two years
and the third two years. After each period an evaluation is made.
Unpaid leave for another employment could be accepted for a
shorter period, if the employment is considered to be in line
with the thesis work. There are also occasions when you can have
paid leave of absence, see http://www.adm.chalmers.se/Intern/Personal/Engelsk/Leave.html
The period of employment could be prolonged due to parental
leave or sick leave. Before prolongation, a new study plan must
be established.
Salary
For doctoral students, there is a salary table. At Chalmers, the
initial salary is 21300 SEK/month. When you have your licentiate
degree the salary will rise with 2930 SEK/month, and when 80%
of the requirements for the PhD degree are fulfilled there will
be a further rise with 900 SEK/month.
At the Faculty of Science, Göteborg University, the initial
salary is 20 700 SEK/month, after licentiate degree 23 800 SEK/month,
and after 80% of your studies 25 130 SEK/month.
Courses
and business travels
You must see to it that your courses are being reported to the
computer system (contact the secretaries). It is important that
your financing of a business travel is ready in due time before
you go and that it is approved (for the sake of insurance etc).

Do not forget to report that you have recovered!
You can get remuneration for the costs you incur for corporately-
and publicly-financed health and medical care, and for pharmaceuticals.
It is a taxable benefit. Remuneration for costs associated with
health care in connection with an industrial injury is a tax-free
benefit. For Chalmers employees, register in PrimulaWeb and send
your original receipt to "Löne- och reseräkningsservice".
