Vienna assistant position: now complete with application requirements

[Birgit Kellner]

Dear list-members,

the announcement of an assistant position at the Institute for South 
Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies in Vienna was incomplete in that it 
contained no information about the documents that are required for 
application.

Since this information is a bit hidden on the university's website, 
allow me to specify:

A list of the required documents can be found at:

http://www.univie.ac.at/personal-mitteilungsblatt/index.php?Alias_ID=1&sub1=965&Art_ID=1991

In short, these are:

- application form ("Bewerbungsbogen"), linked on that page (found here:
http://www.univie.ac.at/personal/form/doc/20060621_PA.B3_Bewerbungsbogen.doc)
- CV (signed by the applicant)
- birth certificate (photocopy)
- certificate of nationality (photocopy)
- certificates of educational qualifications, in this case especially 
the required university degree (photocopy)

For the sake of completeness, the full English text of the job advert is 
reposted further below.

Apologies for the oversight, and best regards,

Birgit Kellner
