Working in UT
Estonian universities are autonomous and thus are entitled to regulate their internal work procedures, employment conditions and other issues based on the decisions of the council.
UT has its own regulations concerning employment conditions for researchers and academic staff. The salary level and other conditions of employment are established in an employment contract, based on the rules of the university and on the Employment Contracts Act. The salary rules vary for professors, docents (assistant professors), specialists and other academic positions, and the rules are reviewed on a regular basis. You can find more information from the personnel regulations and documents of the University of Tartu (UT).
