Full PhD scholarships at ICS
Dear Colleague,
We turn to you because we believe you might know excellent graduates in
one of the social sciences for whom we have the unique opportunity to
obtain a full four-year scholarship in our PhD program for yeargroup 2014.
The recruitment and selection procedure for these full PhD scholarships
started at April 1, 2014, with advertisements on Dutch and foreign
websites (such as academic transfer, www.academics.de and
www.jobs.ac.uk) and on the ICS website (www.ics-graduateschool.nl).
The Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology
(ICS) is an institute for postgraduate studies of the Universities of
Groningen, Utrecht, and Nijmegen, in the Netherlands. The ICS offers a
postgraduate program for a small selection of excellent graduates in one
of the social and behavioral sciences (including economics, history,
mathematics or computer sciences). The structured program consists of
training in advanced theory construction and research methods by means
of courses, tutorials, and individual study. Supervision and monitoring
are intense: each PhD student is supported by a personal supervision
team and meetings on a regular basis. After four years, our PhD students
will have finished their dissertation and will be well-prepared to enter
the growing market for highly trained researchers in the social sciences.
Training and thesis supervision are in English. As the ICS is a joint
venture of the universities of Groningen, Utrecht, and Nijmegen, PhD
students reside either in Utrecht, Groningen, or Nijmegen. Course
locations alternate between Groningen, Utrecht and Nijmegen, with PhD
students commuting during the period of each course.
ICS PhD students enjoy rather comfortable conditions, certainly compared
to opportunities for PhD students in other countries. The salary amounts
to appr. €2083,- before taxes in the first year of the appointment,
rising to appr. €2664,- before taxes in the fourth year. There are no
tuition fees.
We would like to ask you to search in your own network for recent
graduates who might be interested and who are highly qualified.
General information on the ICS and the structure of the program can be
found on the ICS-website: http://www.ics-graduateschool.nl
Information on the available PhD positions can be found on:
Further information, if necessary, can be obtained via
Applications, online only, should be delivered through the ICS website
until April 22, 2014.
The interviews will be conducted on June 3, 4 & 10, 11 June 2014.
We very much appreciate your interest and cooperation,
Rafael Wittek
Scientific Director ICS
