External doctoral thesis and scholarships
All doctoral theses in which the research work is carried out in co-operation with an external institution outside the ETH Domain are considered external. Please note the guidelines for external dissertation projects.
Employment for external doctoral theses or doctoral theses in the ETH Domain
If the research work is completed at or in co-operation with an external institution, it is often accompanied by employment at this external institution or a company (e.g. ETH Domain, IBM Research, ETH spin-offs). In these cases, there is no employment at ETH Zurich.
If doctoral students receive a scholarship, this will be reviewed separately and employment will be adjusted accordingly. Please contact your HR partner at an early stage. They will be happy to help you set up the correct process.
