Graduate Institute of Labor Research, National Chengchi University

1. Principles for the Appointment of Part-time Assistants

• In accordance with University regulations, the Institute primarily appoints research assistants (graduate student assistants) and provides stipends in order to:
  • encourage students to complete their master’s theses in a timely manner,
  • support participation in academic activities,
  • facilitate involvement in research activities,
  • and encourage the publication of research outcomes.
• Appointment plans and quotas are determined independently by full-time faculty members.
  One additional position is allocated for assisting with editorial work for the Journal of Labor Studies.
• Administrative duties of the Institute are primarily supported by labor-based part-time assistants.
  For specific activities such as admissions examinations, alumni events, and large-scale events, temporary labor-based part-time assistants may be hired on a daily employment basis, with compensation and labor insurance handled accordingly.
• Supplementary Note:
  The appointment plans and quotas for research assistants are determined by individual faculty members.
  Faculty members should explain relevant regulations to prospective student assistants in advance, and appointments shall be made only upon mutual agreement.
