Due to an IT-disruption, our original application portal is temporarily not available. We thus switched to an alternative application portal. We are therefore extending the deadline for submissions until May 2nd, 2023. 

 

Some general information about the evaluation process: All applications will be evaluated on their scientific validity and motivation. You may be invited for an online interview between May 30th and June 1st. Invitations for these interviews will be send on very short notice. If you pass the online interviews, you will be invited to a virtual interview symposium on June 5th and 6th. The invitations to the interviews will contain more information how to prepare. 

We encourage you to apply as soon as possible, as this facilitates the evaluation in view of the short processing time. 

 

Please apply here, select ‘Fully funded PhD positions at EpiCrossBorders’ and follow strictly the application guidelines. Only these applications will be considered.
