@foxy@blahaj.zone Yes, the way it works here is that each professor has 1-3 positions for phd students, those are required to do teaching as part of their job. Others are not required to teach, but usually supervise thesises. Additional teaching for more money isn't really a thing as far as I know. If you are in a less well funded research area you usually don't get a full position. That means less teaching, but of course the amount of research you need to do stays the same. I also know some people who work a regular job and do their PhD unpaid im their free time.

@foxy 0) Germany 1) No official duration, you usually get a three year contract of you are on third party funding, which is common, and likely a second one afterwards. Average time very much depends on area of research. It assumes a Master. 2) 0 3) NA
