PhD adverts

The Postgraduate Recruitment team looks after advertising of PhD opportunities for projects. We are able to post opportunities on two resources, FindAPhD.com and jobs.ac.uk.

About FindAPhD

The University uses a PhD project database to support the recruitment of doctoral researchers. Doctoral ReSEARCHer (powered by FindAPhD.com) is a web-based tool that allows prospective doctoral researchers to search for available PhD opportunities and supervisors at the University of Birmingham. The site provides an excellent opportunity to promote potential research topics and we would recommend that you ensure your available PhD topics (or more broadly your area of research interest) are listed on this site.

The database incorporates school and centre research profiles, supervisor details, project description, funding information, publication details and enquiry management.
