Please see Call for Applications for detailed information about the call and benefits.

Application checklist: The following application documents and material shall be provided:

  • completed admission form
  • curriculum vitae (CV),

  • preferred date when you would like to start the doctoral studies,

Note that we will send an automatic email to your referees if you indicate this during the application procedure. Otherwise, you have to ask your referees to send to us their letters directly by email (preferrably) to application@dkpi.at or by postal mail so that they arrive before the deadline.

Upon electronic submission of your application you should receive a confirmation mail within 1 day (if not, please contact the DK-PI coordinator!).
