My professor is sick and may not return to work. Has anyone of you ever heard of universities buying out the contract? I'm in my 1st year and I receive a scholarship.

Sorry for my bad English... I had to type this at least 10 times and got a bit tired... What I wanted to add is that my 2nd supervisor is considering alternatives, but this may not work as my research is highly specialised.

Hi, Hallohallo,

Who gave you your scholarship? If your scholarship is from your uni, then contact your postgrad coordinator and ask for advice. If your supervisor is not coming back, you can look for new supervisor and apply to switch to new supervisor. Most likely you will start from the beginning and work on a new project. You should be able to transfer the scholarship to your new project and supervisor if your scholarship is from the uni.
