In Poland, you apply to a PhD programme through a doctoral school. You need to pass an exam. For University of Warsaw, details on admission process can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/szkolydoktorskie.uw.edu.pl\/en\/sdnsip-2\/\">https:\/\/szkolydoktorskie.uw.edu.pl\/en\/sdnsip-2\/<\/a> <br>Direct contact with a prospective PI is encouraged, yet  you need to apply through central Recruitment Centre <a href=\"https:\/\/irk.uw.edu.pl\/en-gb\/\">https:\/\/irk.uw.edu.pl\/en-gb\/<\/a>. <br>Usually, the recruitment takes place in May-June.<br><br>2. Life science is costly. If a lab does not advertise a PhD position, usually there are no funds to support a PhD project, and you will get a negative response no matter how good is your CV. On the other hand, PIs with open positions advertise their positions wherever possible. You may check the open positions here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ncn.gov.pl\/baza-ofert\/\">https:\/\/www2.ncn.gov.pl\/baza-ofert\/<\/a> or here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biol.uw.edu.pl\/rekrutacja-projekty\/\">https:\/\/www.biol.uw.edu.pl\/rekrutacja-projekty\/<\/a><br><br>3. Tailor your CV and explain, how your expertise and interest match the scope of a lab you are applying to. With a general CV or a CV irrelevant to the topics studied by the PI you likely won&#8217;t get a response. A general interest in the PI work is not enough, you need to explain what research questions you want to pursue  and how the lab fits these. <br>Please mind that our lab is focused on ecology and evolution, not human health nor microbiology or epidemiology. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please note, that there are no open positions in our lab this year.
