Recruitment of a doctoral student (PhD)
Support for managers
This page provides support and information on the recruitment process for doctoral students.
Recruiting a new doctoral student (PHD) is a strategically important decision and often a major investment for the organization. A well-executed recruitment process increases the chances of a successful recruitment and minimizes the risks of mis recruitment.
Unlike other recruitments, a doctoral student is first and foremost recruited for a position as a student. Although most doctoral students are also recruited for an employment, the processes and regulations are somewhat different from other recruitments. It is therefore important to use Lund University’s recruitment tools and to consider the special circumstances of a doctoral program.
