Please note that this step (find positions) may overlap with step 4: explore universities and step 5: contact supervisors, depending on the country or universities to which you are applying. Therefore, you can complete these three steps of your application process in parallel. Positions are generally available in the following three formats:
For Undergraduate Applicants
While this step is crucial for undergraduate applicants, we currently don’t offer a list of undergraduate programs on our website. To find relevant programs, explore platforms like Applyboard or university websites directly. After completing step 4: explore universities and step 6: find positions, if you wish to continue using Applyindex, proceed to step 7: choose your target universities.
For Research-Based Master’s and PhD Applicants
-
Programs: These include master’s and PhD programs in regions like Europe, the USA, Australia, and Canada. Typically, applying to these positions involves completing lengthy departmental application forms. For these types of positions, it’s recommended to visit university websites for program deadlines and minimum requirements.
-
Research Projects: Primarily found in European universities, these are research-based master’s and PhD vacancies. Unlike programs, each research project often has its application form, or in some cases, you may simply need to email your application package directly to the hiring supervisor. These application forms tend to be shorter and easier to complete compared to program-based applications.
-
Scholarships or Grants: Explore opportunities like the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters in Europe, PhD Scholarships in Australia, or the Marie Curie PhD Scholarship in Europe. Applications for these typically require submission through individual university websites.
We provide a list of advertised research project PhD opportunities and scholarships in Europe.
For Postdoc Applicants
Postdoc vacancies are research-based academic jobs you either apply for through individual application forms or by applying for postdoc grants and fellowships such as the Marie Curie Postdoc Fellowship in Europe, the McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellowships at the University of Melbourne, and many others.
