Soliciting OU Faculty or Staff for Side Jobs

Full-time faculty and staff of Osaka University (referred to as "faculty and staff" hereafter) are obligated to devote themselves to their jobs as described in Rules of Employment. However, they are allowed to accept second jobs if they receive approval from the University in accordance with standards stipulated in the Regulations on Second Jobs for Faculty and Staff at Osaka University.

National universities were incorporated in April 2004. Since then, businesses soliciting faculty and staff to do a second job have been required to apply for such using one of the specified forms noted below.

In principle, the University does not send a written reply of permission to a business soliciting faculty or staff members for second jobs; however, if a business soliciting a faculty or staff member needs a written reply, they should submit an application form along with a self-addressed return envelope.

Last but not least, faculty and staff of the University are not allowed to accept second jobs without permission.

We would once again like to ask businesses to follow the specified procedures for making such a request.
