The GSHS can admit doctoral candidates who have been accepted, registered or enrolled as doctoral candidates at another university in Germany or abroad as guest member if they are completing a research stay at JGU and/or are demonstrably involved in research and teaching at JGU. Guest members can be granted access to the GSHS’s advisory, qualification and networking opportunities, depending on available capacity. It is not possible to apply for financial support. There is also no right to vote in or be elected to GSHS committees. The Director of the GSHS decides on applications for admission as a guest member on a case-by-case basis.
Guest membership ends automatically:
• upon completion of the doctorate, usually upon awarding of the doctoral certificate
• with termination of your status as a doctoral candidate at your home university
• with cancellation of the doctorate
• when involvement in research and teaching at JGU ends (e.g. end of employment at JGU)
These reasons for termination must be reported to the director of the GSHS immediately (by email to gshs@uni-mainz.de). Guest members can also declare their resignation in writing to the director at any time and thus terminate their guest membership. Important note: Admission as a guest member of the GSHS does not constitute membership of JGU or status as a student or doctoral candidate.
