According to the Higher Education Ordinance (HF 4 chapter 12 c§), an assistant lecturer shall, upon application, be promoted to lecturer if they have both eligibility for employment as a lecturer and, upon review, are deemed suitable for such employment according to the assessment criteria applicable to the position. Such promotion means a permanent employment as a lecturer. Application and review for promotion to lecturer shall take place within the employment period as an assistant lecturer.
