Maternity cover

Financing maternity cover

Staff shortfalls in teaching and research as a result of a research assistant being unable to work due to maternity protection provisions are covered with funds from the target agreements between the faculties and the FAU Executive Board. This also applies to employees funded by third-party funds in order to improve the chances of women being employed for positions allocated to a specific project.

Please send an informal application referring to the target agreements to FAU University Administration: ZUV der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, P3, z. Hd. Herrn Dietmar Bruckler, VA, Schlossplatz 4, 91054 Erlangen and send a copy to Frau Dr. Imke Leicht, Büro für Gender und Diversity.

The application should include the following:

• An explanation of why the cover is required
• Type of cover: teaching assignment, 1/4 or 1/2 TVL-13 position
• Specific period for which cover is required

The Family Service is happy to provide any further information.

The Family Service website gives an overview of the rules relating to maternity protection and parental leave at FAU.
