PhD Atlas

Public beta · free

PhD positions that fit your CVand your passport.The agents do the searching:

  1. They find open PhD positions in every field, from public job boards and university sites, every 12 hours.
  2. They check the rules for your nationality: who may apply, and where student visas are a problem.
  3. They show where and how much: a map, a city filter, and what a stipend really buys in that country.
  4. They find labs that just got funding, and the researchers who publish on your topic there.
  5. They send you the best new ones by email, every day or every week. One link stops the emails.

At two in the morning, a new PhD call goes online. You are asleep.

The agents read it within hours. They compare it with your CV, check the rules for your passport, and write one line on why it fits. In the morning it waits at the top of your list, with a “new” badge.

Read the call's rules and the visa rules for your nationality. Then the best new matches go to the top of your list.

Your nationality changes what you can apply for.

Some calls are for EU citizens only. Some scholarships list the countries they accept. Some countries have stopped student visas for some nationalities. PhD Atlas reads these rules and stamps a clear note on every position.

EligibleThe call states no nationality limit.
Check eligibilityFor EU/EEA citizens; some calls also accept long-term EU residents.
Not eligibleOpen only to citizens of the host country.

A new grant often means a new PhD position. Months before any advertisement.

The Funded labs tab lists research grants that started in the last 12 months, closest to your profile first. “Who works on this here?” shows the researchers who publish on that topic at that institution, with their recent papers.
