The unit may implement personnel changes without approval from the Faculty Board, provided the change meets the following conditions:
- The unit remains within the established budget. The intended personnel change does not lead to a budget overrun.
- It concerns a temporary expansion, extension, or appointment (without the prospect of a permanent position).
- The (intended) appointment, temporary extension or expansion ends no later than 31 August 2027 (end of the 2026-2027 academic year).
- The personnel change does not concern an appointment within professional services.
- The appointment does not conflict with the savings projects/measures defined within the Faculty of Social Sciences.
For all personnel changes in the primary funding stream that do not meet these conditions, a request must be submitted in advance to the faculty board using the form Request for personnel change in the 1st funding stream.
Sending a request to the faculty board
A request can only be made by:
- In case of Scientific Personnel (SP) with a combined Research (RS) /Teaching (TC) appointment: the triangle consisting of the head of department, programme director, and research director;
- In the case of SP with RS or TC appointment only: the concerned director;
- In the case of Supporting Employees (SE): the supervisor.
As a rule, use a new form for each request.
A number of programmes and research institutes use large groups of student assistants/teachers, each with a small number of hours, to complete teaching and research. A bulk request can be made for these with one form.
The request should be sent by Wednesday 17.00 at the latest to the secretariat (bestuur.fsw [at] ru.nl (bestuur[dot]fsw[at]ru[dot]nl)) in order for it to be discussed in the board meeting of the following week. The decision will be communicated to the applicants by the Thursday after the board meeting at the latest.
