[Drand] VB: PhD student representatives for external evaluation

[Kajsa Blomdahl]

Dear PhD students at Stockholm University,



we, Georgii and Gwenna, are doctoral students from the faculty of Science and Technology (TekNat) at Uppsala University. We represent PhD students on the Graduate Education Board of the faculty.



The faculty is evaluating the doctoral education in the different sections and we are in charge of finding PhD students from other universities to join external evaluation committees.



Right now we are looking for six PhD students for the evaluation committees in the following sections:

- Physics and Astronomy (one student, begins in January 2020),

- Chemistry (two students, begins in March 2020),

- Biology (three students, begins in May 2020).



[For later evaluations in Earth Sciences or Computer Science, a separate call will be sent during spring term 2020.]



If you would like to take part in these evaluation committees, please use the form below to send us your contact details, a short motivation letter and a short CV until 28th OCTOBER.



https://forms.gle/v7g4pyxkhZqXeFkJ8



Make sure to mention relevant experiences (see list below) and that the evaluation time line works for you (see below). TekNat doctoral board (TNDR) will elect representatives for each of the three sections, candidates will be notified shortly after.



PhD student members of the evaluation committees will be compensated with 7000 SEK and all costs for the on-site visit (travel, accommodation, meals) will be covered by Uppsala University. The expected workload is about 1 week full time.



Members of the evaluation committees are expected to:

have expertise within the field to be evaluated,

have dealt with questions regarding quality in education (preferably PhD education/graduate level),

have experience about the organisation of Swedish institutions for higher education (e.g. from participation in boards or committees on different levels at a university or college within Sweden or related agencies).

It is an advantage to be able to read Swedish texts, although the discussions and most of the texts are expected to be in English. It is also an advantage to have worked with questions regarding equal opportunities. We are aiming for diverse evaluation committees and welcome applications from all sections of the community and from people of all backgrounds.



Information about the evaluation time line:

The evaluation process is planned to take 12 months for each section. The external evaluation committee is expected to have the main workload throughout months 4 to 10 of the evaluation process (reading self-evaluation report of the section, on-site visit with interviews, writing external evaluation report).



More detailed information can be found in the attached document (instructions for external committees, only in Swedish) and in the following documents (English and Swedish): https://regler.uu.se/document/?contentId=706678 and https://regler.uu.se/document/?contentId=763088
