====How to get started====
===Access to the IT services===
  * In order to access the IT services of the TU Dresden you will need to set up your ZIH account by using the Coupon-ID provided to you by the administration on the following website: [[https://selfservice.zih.tu-dresden.de/index.php/idm_coupon]]
  * By following the instructions you will be able to choose a password, whereas your username will be provided to you. These credentials can be used to access all the services from TU, as well as your account on your Windows machine. They may require up to 24 hours to be activated.
===Access to Wi-Fi connection==
You can connect to the university Wi-Fi from any device with the following credentials:
  * Network name: eduroam
  * Password: _yourusername_@tu-dresden.de
===Access to Outlook===
  * Microsoft Outlook is the preferred e-mail client in the lab. You can create a Microsoft Outlook mail account by using the following credentials:
     * e-mail address: _yourusername_@msx.tu-dresden.de
     * Password: your ZIH account password
  * This account will be then connected to your university mail address, name.surname@tu-dresden.de
  * Check the following link for detailed instructions [[https://faq.tickets.tu-dresden.de/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQZoom;ItemID=22]]
  * Find a template for the e-mail signature here: //N:\SeSyN\Wichtige Links\Outlook\Signature Faculty of Medicine TUD.txt//
===VPN===
  * In order to be able to use access the ZIH login outside of the TU Dresden network, you’ll need to set up a VPN on your external device. 
  * A manual on how to set it up can be found at [[https://tu-dresden.de/zih/dienste/service-katalog/arbeitsumgebung/zugang_datennetz/vpn#section-4]] 
  * For access to your computer via remote desktop you need to contact Eckart Schulz (see people that will save you)
===Group drives setup===
  * The group drives are data storage drives that can be shared among different machines, containing most of the data and the projects you will work on. Your machine will be granted access only to some folders in these drives, according to your work.
  * You can find the instructions on how to mount the group drives on your machine at the following link: [[https://ssl.psych.tu-dresden.de/glw/]]

====Office routines====
===Vacation=== 
We get 30 vacation days or 2.5 per month (will be rounded up if necessary). Kerstin has a vacation sheet to "apply" for vacation. Depending on your project, you might need a replacement to sign that he/she is present during your vacation. In exceptional cases, you can write an e-mail to have a written record of the vacation day(s) and write it in the vacation sheet later. 
===Homeoffice===
We are expected to work in the office on a regular basis. If it suits your project, you may work from home from time to time. If possible, inform your supervisor the day before you plan to work from home.  
===Sick days=== 
  * If you need to call in sick, please inform your supervisor as soon as possible. 
  * You can call in sick for two days without a doctor's note. 
  * From the third day you need a doctor's note. It will automatically be sent to your employer (TUD or UKD). However, you must inform your supervisor by e-mail how long you will be off sick. Please cc Kerstin!
====Important people====

Important: Please include her in cc when you are off sick or working from home, so that she knows to document it properly in case someone asks.

  * Most important life hack as a PhD student: Do not hesitate to ask people, who are already in the process or just finished recently.
  * A collection of important documents can be found here: //N:\SeSyN\Publikationen\Dissertationen\_PhD shared material_// 
  * As written above, Mrs. Binye in the Promotionsamt is really nice and helpful. 
  * If you are not by your contract part of some graduate program such as TRR / IRTG, you will benefit from registerin as an associative member.

    * First requirement is the official registration as a graduate student at the TUD via the [[https://tu-dresden.de/mn/psychologie/postgraduales/promotionsamt|Promotionsamt]] .
    * Second requirement is a [[https://tu-dresden.de/ga/ressourcen/dateien/mitgliedschaft/mitgliedschaftsdokumente/Betreuungsvereinbarung.pdf?lang=de|Betreuungsvereinbarung]] . At first glance seems like a lot of work, but you will benefit from starting the conversation with your supervisor about milestones of your dissertation process.
