Application for a FACETS-ITN project Ph.D. position

To apply for FACETS-ITN:

1. Check whether working with the FACETS-ITN partners would be interesting for you via the list of available example thesis topics or via the websites of the partner groups.
2. Check whether you fulfill the eligibility conditions (short version: since your graduation you were active in research for less than four years, your nationality is different from the country of the chosen host group and you stayed at most 12 months in the last three years).
3. Fill out the application forms online. Part of the application process is to name 2 to 3 people we can ask for letters of reference.
4. When you 'submitted' the application the system will ask you to send us a signed confirmation page. Please scan the signed letter and send it via email.
5. After we received your e-mailed signed confirmation letter we will ask the suggested people for letters of reference.
6. When your reference letters arrived the partners examine the applications. You may be called for an interview.
7. The actual Ph.D. work should start ideally 1 March 2012. (Note: the funding with ITN grant conditions will end with the project on 31 August 2013. Afterwards the usual local salaries and conditions will apply.)

Payment: the payment is regulated by the EU Marie-Curie Initial Training Network grant conditions (see the Work Programme 2008 description on this EU page). Related ITN-specific EU page: Taking Control of Your Career
