PhD scholarships in Water Resources
Applications are invited for PhD scholarships within the following subject areas:
Applicants are requested to submit an application which includes (1) a short description of their qualifications for the specific research project(s) they apply for; (2) a CV which provides relevant academic, employment and personal details; (3) authorized transcripts of coursework and authorized copies of diplomas of university degrees all translated into English; (4) a list of reference persons; and (5) for applicants outside the Nordic countries and for applicants who do not have English as their mother tongue authorized evidence of English language competence.
Please note that filling of an application form is not requested.
Applicants should hold a MA degree in a discipline of relevance for the research project.
The scholarships are open to both Danish and international applicants.
A committee will be appointed for evaluating the applications and selected applicants will be invited for an interview. The final selection will be made by the committee. The scholarships will be awarded according to the applicants’ background and qualifications.
The successful candidates are requested to apply for enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD school of the University of Copenhagen.
