Open PhD positions

Open PhD positions

We are recruiting!

We are looking for 15 Doctoral Candidates to join our project at multiple sites in the EU with a master's degree in a relevant discipline (artificial intelligence, life sciences, humanities and social sciences) interested in developing knowledge graphs for data-driven decision-making to rationally design microbial communities in the context of open science and its regulations. Please note that the PhD positions will lead to the award of a double diploma after the completion of a stay in each of the organisations delivering the diplomas.

Specific requirements for all DCs

- Educational background and previous research experience relevant to the chosen position.
- Networking and communication skills in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.
- Willingness to travel abroad for the purpose of research, training and dissemination.
- English: B2, good oral and written communication skills in English are compulsory.

Recruitment Process

  1. Candidates apply for a position using the online application form found on the FAIROmics website under the rubrics of each PhD position. The application form can be found here if needed:  FAIROmics_application_form_PDF .
  2. The FAIROmics Project Manager provides a first screen of the written applications to check the candidate's eligibility and forwards the eligible applications to the DC supervisors.
  3. The DC supervisors will select the best candidates based on CV, academic records, recommendation and motivation letters and adequate skill sets. To better assess the best candidate, the shortlisted candidates might be asked to write an abstract of provided scientific documents relevant to the research subject.
  4. The selected applicants will be interviewed online by the Selection Committee (two main supervisors and two representatives of a beneficiary or associated partner, with at least one person external to the DC’s project).
  5. The best candidates will be chosen by the main supervisors. The European Project Manager will communicate the successful candidates to the Consortium and Partners.
