Title of Docent at the Faculty of Medicine Title of docent at the Faculty of Medicine Effective as of 1 January 2021 (Finnish-language original approved by the Faculty Council on 15 September 2020) Basis of the title of docent Section 89 of the Universities Act (558/2009) stipulates that a university may, upon application, award the title of docent to a person who has comprehensive knowledge of his or her field, a capacity for independent research demonstrated through publications or some other manner, and good teaching skills. Granting the title of docent According to section 52 of the Regulations of the University of Helsinki (15 April 2015), the chancellor may grant the title of docent at the proposal of the faculty council. All docentships are associated with the University of Helsinki, not individual faculties. Effects of receiving the title of docent A docent is a distinguished member of the academic community, known for having high scientific qualifications and good teaching skills. At the Faculty of Medicine, docents play a major role in the promotion of research, doctoral education and clinical medicine. They also fulfil an important role in the academic community by providing teaching. Under section 52 of the Regulations of the University of Helsinki (15 April 2015), a docent may participate in the provision of teaching in his or her discipline, the supervision of students and the examination of dissertations and theses as well as in other academic activities, as separately agreed on a case-by-case basis. Granting the title of docent does not constitute a contract of employment with the University, nor are docents entitled to fees or the benefits available to the University staff without a separate agreement. According to the instructions issued by the chancellor on 12 May 2020, the title of docent (dosentti in Finnish) cannot be translated from Finnish to other languages in a way that gives a misleading impression of the affiliation the title provides with the University. Consequently, the English translation ‘adjunct professor’ must not be used, but rather the recommended English translation is ‘title of docent’ in explanatory texts, with ‘docent’ as the direct title. The title of docent is a qualification requirement for certain posts at the Helsinki University Hospital. Docent contract In accordance with Rector’s Decision No 2/4/2010 (13 December 2010), docents who are not members of University of Helsinki staff, but wish to be more active members of the Faculty community and interact with the University can conclude a docent contract with the Faculty unit responsible for their field of science that agrees on the forms and terms of cooperation. The contract does not constitute a contract of employment with the University, but rather determines the right and benefits the docent is entitled to when participating in the activities of the Faculty or unit. Those who conclude a docent contract are reimbursed for their work, as separately agreed before the beginning of teaching or other duties. Both parties must be willing to conclude the docent contract. It is approved by the unit director, who considers whether it meets the unit’s needs and interests. The contract must specify the relevant forms of cooperation and the validity period of the contract in years. The contract can be terminated by both parties before its validity expires, or be renewed after its expiry. After the conclusion of the docent contract, practical arrangements are made together with University Services. The docent receives the University’s IT credentials and email address as well as access to information systems and library databases. The docent contract is concluded online. Title of docent upon retirement A docent who retires can conclude a docent contract. Applying for the title of docent is not necessary for professors emeriti who wish to retain contact with the University of Helsinki. In accordance with Rector’s Decisions No 2/3/2010 and 2/4/2010 (13 December 2010), an emeritus professor can conclude a professor contract equivalent in content to a docent contract. Title of docent granted before the entry into force of the current Universities Act (558/2009) On 25 January 2020, the chancellor of the University of Helsinki issued a decision granting the title of docent to those who were University of Helsinki docents on the date in question. Applying for a docentship Applying for the title of docent A docentship can be applied for by sending the requested application documents to Päivi Sinisalo (paivi.sinisalo(at)helsinki.fi) by the application deadline. Applications completed in accordance with the application instructions (see also Instructions and forms -> Application instructions) and submitted by the deadline will be considered by the docentship committee at its following meeting. Deficient applications are not considered. The Faculty of Medicine requests that applicants submit the following documents saved in accordance with the application instructions as a single PDF file: 1. Application form A signed application form. The application form must also contain information on the proposed assessors. 2. Curriculum vitae and degree certificates The curriculum vitae should be between one and two pages in length. The application must be accompanied by copies of the undergraduate and doctoral degree certificates as well as service certificates. If the applicant is not a Finnish citizen, a copy of the first page of the applicant’s passport must also be attached. The curriculum vitae must include information on proficiency in the second national language of Finland (Swedish for Finnish speakers, and Finnish for Swedish speakers). If the degree certificate makes no mention of language proficiency, the application must be accompanied by a certificate of language proficiency. A foreign citizen or a non-native Finnish citizen may be granted the title of docent even if he or she is not proficient in Finnish or Swedish. In such cases, the person in question is simultaneously exempted in accordance with section 32 of the Regulations of the University of Helsinki from the requirement concerning proficiency in Finnish and Swedish laid down in the Government Decree on Universities. 3. List of publications On 29 October 1982 and 5 February 1985, the Faculty decided the following on lists of publications: “The position of docent is academic in nature, and when assessing the qualifications of applicants, the focus must be on the quality and scope of their scholarly publication activities. The decision on the qualifications of each applicant is made by the Faculty Council. Consequently, it is important that each member of the Faculty community has the opportunity to explore the scientific qualifications of applicants rather than making their decision on the basis of assessor statements alone.” The Faculty requires that applicants classify their publications as follows: A. Articles included in the doctoral thesis B. Other original articles Original articles are texts which include, as their key content, research results not included in other articles and which have been published in international peer-reviewed scientific publication series. Manuscripts accepted for publication (‘in press’) can be included in the list of publications by specifying that they have been ‘accepted for publication’. In such cases, the letter of acceptance must be attached. Manuscripts submitted for publication and manuscripts currently under peer review or preparation cannot be included in the list of publications. C. Original articles in international compilations or printed conference proceedings. This does not apply to summaries, of which only the number should be reported. D. Case studies published in international peer-reviewed publication series E. Reviews and editorials in international scientific journals and textbooks F. Original articles and reviews in Finnish textbooks and peer-reviewed publication series G. Popular science articles H. Online material Layout of the list of publications: The applicant’s name must be highlighted in bold or underlined. The list must mention all authors (the ‘et al.’ convention should not be used). The applicant must note in the list of publications whether he or she has contributed equally to the publication with, for example, the first author. To do so, the applicant should use an asterisk (*) to indicate authors who have contributed equally and add the following in bold at the end of the citation: ‘*Equal contribution’. The applicant must be the author of the article, or the publication must otherwise indicate that the applicant has actively contributed to the planning of the research, the analysis of the results or the writing of the article (e.g., as a member of a protocol writing committee or reading centre). Serving as a local data collector or equivalent (e.g., collaborator or investigator) is not sufficient. In the latter case, the list of authors typically ends with the name of the research group, preceded by the words ‘for the [name of consortium]’ or ‘on behalf of the [name of consortium]’, and the members of the consortium are listed elsewhere in the publication. This type of participation in consortium research can be mentioned elsewhere in the curriculum vitae. The list of publications must be based on the Vancouver system (e.g., Wilson DH, Thyson WT: Title of article. Am J Clin Patol 1991; 29:762–770). Each publication must be followed by: 1. The impact factor of the publication series (Journal Citation Reports) 2. The rank of the publication series in publications in the field (Journal Citation Reports) 3. Information on how many times the publication has been cited in the literature (Web of Science) The above information can be obtained from the Meilahti Campus Library Terkko. 4. Open access publications must be indicated by adding the words ‘open access’ in bold at the end of the citation. Only peer-reviewed open access publications are considered original publications, and they are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Applicants themselves must assess their experience of the publication process and its scientific nature.

  • Guidelines for Granting Docent Status
    UPPSALA UNIVERSITY GUIDELINES 11 June 2015 JURFAK 2015/49 Appendix 1 UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DECISION Board of the Faculty of Law 17 October 2013 (revised on 11 June 2015) Guidelines for granting docent status 1. Purpose of appointing docents at the Faculty of Law The purpose of granting the title or position of ‘docent’1 at the Faculty of Law is to clearly recognise a person’s special academic expertise. Docent status may be conferred if it may be beneficial to the research and education. A docent is required to be active in education at postgraduate (research) level in various ways, such as providing proficient supervision and undertaking the role of ‘opponent’ in disputations (public defences of PhD theses). Obtaining docent status therefore presupposes academic qualifications over and above a doctoral degree. Docent status may normally be conferred only in a subject in which education at postgraduate level is provided at the Faculty. A person who has gained docent status at another higher education institution may not be granted docent status in the same subject at the Faculty of Law in Uppsala. 2. Consultation A person wishing to be granted docent status is recommended first to raise the matter informally with the Chair of the Research Committee. The Chair must then consult one or more subject representatives on the matter. Advice not to continue does not constitute any formal impediment to proceeding with the application. 3. Conferral requirements for applicants lacking positions at the Faculty of Law If applicants have no permanent or time-limited appointment at the Faculty of Law, subject representatives must issue special statements of opinion regarding the manner in which the grant of docent status could benefit research and education at the Faculty.

  • Translating Degrees and Academic Titles Abbreviations: Challenges and Perspectives
    Slađana Milinković TRANSLATING DEGREES AND ACADEMIC TITLES ABBREVIATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES SLAĐANA MILINKOVIĆ Th e Court Interpreters and Translators Association of Serbia E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi fokozatok és tudományos címek rövidítéseinek fordítása: kihívások és perspektí- vák. Az ember társas lény, ezért természetes szükséglete a kommunikáció. Az emberi kommuni- káció fontosságát már évezredekkel ezelőtt felismerték, és gyökerei sokkal messzebbre nyúlnak vissza, mint amiről az írott történelem beszámol. Az emberi kommunikáció alapja az együttmű- ködés és a közös szándék, ahogy azt az antroposzemiotika is tanítja. Idáig azonban hosszú utat kellett bejárni. „Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”,1 tanítja a Biblia, de az igét meg kell hallgatni, és terjeszteni kell. Minél messzebbre kellett eljutnia, annál fontosabb volt, hogy valamilyen módon lejegyezzék. És az em- ber másik természetes szükséglete, hogy nyomot hagyjon a világban – valamilyen képpel, szám- mal vagy betűvel. Nézzük meg röviden ennek a történetét. Kulcsszavak: latin nyelvű oklevelek, egyetemi fokozatok fordítása, tudományos címek rövidítése, bírósági tolmácsolás, a terminológia alakulása Since man is a social being, one of his innate needs is the desire to communicate. Th e importance of human communication has been recognised for thousands of years, far longer than demonstrated through recorded history. Human communication is rooted in cooperative and shared intentions, as anthroposemiotics teaches us. But it was a long road to get us here. “Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος”, the Bible has taught us, but it has to be heard and spread. Th e further it needed to go, the greater was the need to record it in some way. And the second man’s innate need was to make a mark in the world – with a picture of some kind, a certain sign, numeral or letter.

  • Why Kenya's Decision to Appoint 'Corporate' Chancellors Won't Fix Universities
    Why Kenya's decision to appoint 'corporate' chancellors won't fix univers... https://theconversation.com/why-kenyas-decision-to-appoint-corporate-... Why Kenya's decision to appoint 'corporate' chancellors won't fix universities Ishmael Munene The choice of chancellors appointed to head universities is a good indicator of the direction in which the state seeks to steer its institutions. It can foster or erode autonomy and shared decision-making. This has been a big issue in Kenya for decades. But the country isn’t alone. The balance between university autonomy and politicisation is relevant everywhere. In the British tradition, which Kenya generally applies, the university chancellor is a ceremonial head of a university. This titular head is usually a prominent citizen, a business or political leader. The executive academic and administrative head of the university is the vice-chancellor. Since independence the chancellors of public universities have either been heads of state or their appointees. They preside over graduation ceremonies, can give advice to the university councils, and make recommendations to the cabinet secretary of education. In theory the chancellor is a ceremonial position. But in practice Kenya’s chancellors are able – and even expected – to steer their universities in specific directions. This power is underlined in the three epochs that characterise the evolution of public universities’ chancellorship in the country. These are the political chancellor; the academic chancellor; and, more recently, the corporate chancellor. The corporate chancellor, common since 2013, is a response to mounting financial challenges facing Kenyan universities. The appointees include successful bankers, businessmen, corporate chief executives, industrialists and philanthropists.

  • Research Article the Challenges of Student Affairs at Kenyan Public Universities
    Journal of Student Affairs in Africa | Volume 1 (1&2) 2013, 33–48 | ISSN 2307-6267 | DOI: 10.14426/jsaa.v1i1-2.34 research article The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Tamara Yakaboski* and Matthew Birnbaum** Abstract Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education to help solve a range of economic and social issues. These efforts have had profound effects on university students, faculty and professionals who provide the vital student support services necessary for academic success. This case study explores the challenges that face Kenyan student services professionals within the context of the country’s history and cultures. Kenya’s student service professionals face four major challenges: the increasing costs of attendance, the resulting impact on student behaviours and actions, lack of training and senior leadership, and regular campus closures. Keywords student affairs, accommodation, student housing, student services, university environment, higher education. The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education, meaning a shift from an elite to an open system of access, to help solve a range of economic and social problems (Jowi, 2009; Kenya Vision 2030, 2007). The national government has made its commitment to post-secondary education evident through the addition of over 25 public universities and constituent colleges since 1994 and its adoption of policies encouraging rapid enrolment growth in nearly all post-secondary institutions. Between 2010 and 2013, Kenya made nearly 20 constituent colleges and branch campuses into stand-alone universities. Even with this growing capacity, Kenya’s demand for access to affordable higher education far exceeds the system’s ability to deliver quality instruction and student support (Ngolovoi, 2010; Owuor, 2012).

Docentur significance and implications Those qualified to be accepted as docent1 will have completed a doctoral degree, or have an equivalent level of competence and will also display requisite levels of academic and pedagogic proficiency. Local rules for skills evaluation have been set by the Vice Chancellor of Uppsala University on 2000-04-11, ref.no. 1794/98. The Faculty Board accepts unremunerated docents within the research areas of the faculty. A docentur in a subject means that the holder of the title has documented independent research capacity and teaching skills as well as possessing a significantly higher level of academic competence than is required for a doctoral degree. A docentur is unremunerated and is not tied to nor does it entitle employment at the university. The Faculty of Theology recognises applications for docentur in: - History of Religions and World Christianity - History of Religions - World Christianity - Empirical-practical Studies of Religion and Theology - Sociology of Religion - Practical Theology - Didactics of Religion - Biblical Exegesis - Hebrew Bible Exegesis - New Testament Exegesis - Church History and Mission History - Church History - Mission History - Systematic Theology - Studies in World Views and Christian Theology - Islamic Theology - Ethics - Philosophy of Religion 2.
