Intermediate Staff Association

Commission Representatives

The University of Bern has several standing commissions according to the university regulations. Commissions ensure that university members can actively participate and co-determinate the development of the university. Standing commissions exist for areas of interest to the university as a whole.

In the standing commissions, all professional interest groups have to be represented. The MVUB has assigned seats to represent the intermediate staff. If you are interested in filling a vacancy, send an email to leitung.mvub@unibe.ch to get in touch with our office manager. The commission meetings are held in German. 

If you are interested in representing the MVUB but you are not so confident in your German (yet), have a look at the vacancies for actionuni der Schweizer Mittelbau, whos meetings are held in English.
