Introduction

The success of a PhD trajectory is closely related to selecting the successful PhD student. To pay close attention to the selection process will pay off later in the trajectory.

Aim

It is about how to carefully define beforehand what is needed for a specific position (knowledge and competences) and about the interview techniques you can use to find out whether a candidate possesses the required competencies.

Intended for

(Prospect) supervisors of PhD students
