If you have worked with a full-time contract or fellowship, the FTE research experience is exactly the number of months you have worked in research.

If you have worked part-time, you have to calculate the FTE months pro-rata. For example, a part-time worker employed for 20 hours a week where full-time work consists of 40 hours, is counted as 0,5 FTE. Therefore, if you have worked for 10 months, your research experience is equal to 5 FTE months (i.e. 10 months × 0,5).
