PhD vacancies

Would you like to increase our knowledge in understanding the dynamic interactions between vascular and endocrine pathways in hypertension and boost European innovation in future health science and industry towards more effective prevention of and cure for hypertension? Would you like to start your career in a European training network of leading research universities and professionals from the industry? Would you like to be part of a unique training programme focussed on personal development leading to a joint or double doctorate?

MINDSHIFT offers a top-level interdisciplinary research programme to bridge the gap in understanding the dynamic interactions between vascular and endocrine pathways in hypertension, using an integrative framework approach fed by new data and insights from cutting-edge experimental and clinical studies.

MINDSHIFT is an EU funded PhD that brings together six university partners from across Europe to recruit a group of 15 of the best ‘early’ researchers. The doctoral researchers will work together with senior researchers from across the network. Each candidate will be employed at one of the six universities and enrolled in a local PhD programme, while at the same time being part of an integrated research team and research project at network level.

We invite applications for 3-year PhD fellowships to start between May 2021 and October 2021. The Fellows will benefit from joint-doctorate arrangements, secondments to industry and network-wide training. You will be offered a salary including mobility allowance and family allowance (if applicable) in line with the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Horizon 2020 requirements for Early Stage Researchers.
