Simula will provide new parents with a one-time 25 000 NOK payout. The bonus is available for mothers and fathers, and for all Simula employees – not just the researchers.
Employees in temporary educational positions can apply for four extra months
In addition to the one time 25 000 NOK payout, PhD and Postdoctoral candidates can have their contract extended by four months. The bonus applies from January 1st, 2018.
"The PhD thesis is one of the most demanding and intensive periods in a researcher's life, and it often corresponds with the period where many people have children," says Marianne Aasen, Director of the Simula School of Research and Innovation. "We want to give a clear signal to our employees that we think it's a good thing that they have children. It's important to us that they are happy both at work and at home, and we want them to know that we will accommodate a healthy balance between work and family."
