PhD vacancies

Searching for a PhD position starts with letting your network know you are available. Although PNN has the opinion that PhD positions are filled according to the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers of the European Commission, and that recruitment is done according to these open, objective and public procedures, this is not always the case. Many PhD positions are filled through the professor's network. Therefore, it is good to inform your academic network that you would like to do a PhD.

In addition to networking, you can search for a PhD position outside your network. This can be done through newspapers, magazines (such as Nobiles) and the internet. Moreover, there are several websites that offer vacancies for positions in academia, we list them here:
