New parental leave for graduate students and postdocs
The new Department of Physics parental leave policy for graduate students and postdocs has been unanimously accepted at today!
"The department of physics will support a student or a postdoc who wishes to take a parental leave following the birth or adoption of a child. In many cases external sources of funding are available. The student or postdoc is responsible for determining all other sources of income available to him or her during the leave, and providing documentation to the department. Taking into account the available external sources, the department will supplement the salary of the student/postdoc such that the total pay (external+departmental) matches the regular income level, as defined below. Departmental support will be provided for a duration of up to 26 weeks, subject to availability of funds."
