We have decided to reintroduce the fully financed PhD scholarships,
starting with up to 4 scholarships in 2012. There will be two yearly
application deadlines (February 15 and August 15). Candidates can apply
for a personal scholarship, to study a PhD project of own choice, under
supervision of a Department of Biology faculty member (i.e. associate or
full professor). The applications will be evaluated by a competent ad
hoc departmental committee. This committee will also make the final
decision on who among the qualified applicants will be awarded the
scholarships.
Criteria for selecting the candidates :
The project : The project should be scientifically strong and innovative, with clear objectives and a detailed description of the planned strategy.
The candidate : The candidate should have strong CV. Aspects of the Bachelor´s and Master´s studies, such as grades and duration should be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the candidates´ potential to complete the project as outlined. Scientific publications and experience with studying abroad are assets. Fluency in spoken and written English is a strong requirement.
The scientific environment : The project should be embedded in a strong scientific environment that can provide resources, advice on relevant methodology, and should be engaged in international collaborations. An assessment committee will be appointed to evaluate the applications. The final selection of a successful candidate will be made by the Head of Department, based on the recommendations of the evaluation committee. The successful candidates will then be requested to formally apply for enrolment as PhD student at the PhD school of Science, University of Copenhagen.
Pay : Terms of appointment and payment are in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Federation of Professional Associations (AC). The starting salary for candidates with an MSc degree will be a minimum of DKK 309,179 per year (April 2011 level) plus pension contribution DKK 42,243 and the possibility to negotiate wage.
