Get your own PhD student - collaborate with the Industrial Doctoral School!

The Industrial Doctoral School gives your company or organization the opportunity to gain access to the absolute cutting edge of research in your field. Do you have an exciting idea but lack the skills to give it wings? Let us help finance a PhD student.

Become our partner

Collaborating with the Industrial Doctoral School means that your business or organization co-finances a PhD student for four years, and the result is a doctoral thesis that is highly relevant to your business.

The doctoral student is employed by Umeå University and conducts at the same time doctoral studies.

What does your business get?

The university offers:

  • Partial financing of the doctoral position (50%)
  • Administration of the doctoral school
  • Supervision of the doctoral student
  • The arrangement of doctoral courses, seminars and external visits
  • Access to laboratories and instruments

Do you want to join?

The call for doctoral funding is open twice a year. If you are interested in becoming one of our partners or just curious to know more, contact the Director of the Industrial Doctoral School, Patrik Rydén, or send an e-mail to ffs@umu.se.
