PhD projects for 2025 start
Applications for October 2025 have now closed. For your interest, this is the list of research projects that were advertised. The next recruitment round with a new set of projects will start around October 2025 for PhDs starting in October 2026.
Because UNRISK encourages project co-development, the supervisory teams of many projects are not yet finalised. All students will be co-supervised by at least two supervisors.
