When applying to EBS to become a PhD student, you also have the opportunity to become a research fellow. Research fellows are selected by the EBS Research and Development Council, are employed by EBS and work as part of a reseach group on a specific priority topic (see below for 2022 research calls).
These positions are financed either by EBS or external funding (or a combination of both). The research fellow istherefore both employed by EBS and enrolled into the PhD programme. As an employee, a research fellow is provided with a workplace and a competititve salary while also being provided with teaching and supervision as a PhD student.
This scholarship and position include an obligation to contribute to teaching and other core activities of the school. The duration of the employment is four years (reflecting the nominal PhD study period) with flexibility depending on individual circumstances. Research fellow positions are limited and offered to exceptional PhD candidates with a similar vision to fit the EBS academic faculty.
