The PhD student is expected to:
• have a master degree in education or, for example, history, sociology, or literature
• formulate a research proposal, and develop this further together with the promotors
• have experience of working with historical methods and source materials
• be fluent in English (both oral and written)
• be able and willing to work in Groningen, in an international and interdisciplinary environment
Fixed-term contract: 48 months.
The PhD Scholarship student will be enrolled in the PhD Scholarship Programme and receives a scholarship of €2,181 per month (gross) from the University of Groningen.
The PhD Scholarship contract is offered for four years. A successful candidate will first be offered a temporary contract of one year with the option of renewal for another three years. Prolongation of the contract is contingent on sufficient progress in the first year to indicate that a successful completion of the PhD thesis within the contract period is to be expected.
A PhD training programme is part of the agreement and the successful candidate will be enrolled in the Graduate School of the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences. As part of the programme, the PhD student will take part in the Career Perspectives Series, which provides a thorough preparation on the career after the PhD, inside or outside academia. During the course of the doctorate, the student will develop research and, if desired by the candidate, teaching competencies. For this, the PhD students will receive a tailor-made programme.
