A newly qualified PhD student starts on level 4-1. For each subsequent year of relevant professional experience, the PhD student can start on a later salary level (from 4-1 to 4-2 to 5 to 6 and directly to 8). If the PhD student is a 4+4, Choose “Ph.d.” under Position and “4+4 ordning” under Type.

If the PhD candidate’s level of experience is unknown to you at the time of your application, it is recommended that you choose the salary category “Ph.d”, which represents the highest PhD salary level. By choosing the “Ph.d.” category, you make sure to apply for enough salary, no matter how much experience the PhD candidate will have, when starting the PhD work.

If the postdoc is hired directly after obtaining the PhD degree, you choose “Post.doc. nyuddannet”, otherwise you choose “Post.doc.”

 

The correct salary for an A-TAP is “Fuldmægtig (cand.) (AC)”.
You must include holiday allowance when the salaried person is to be externally funded by the applied project.

And you must include holiday allowance on applied salaries to permanent staff (for instance if one applies a percentage of a salary to an associate professor, to be covered by the project), unless it is explicitly stated in the call that holiday allowance on applied salary to permanent staff is not supported.

But you must not include holiday allowance on co-financed salary.

The last year’s salary includes holiday allowance (13,5% of the last 18 months, included in the last months' salary).
