UPDATE:

Unfortunately, we could not yet secure any funding for a full PhD with start in October 2024.
Therefore, there will be no call for the WS24 batch and you do not need to send us any application.
Thank you for your understanding!

Outdated:

This year again, all applications will have to be sent by email to the following address:

info@ec2.tu-berlin.de

Rules:

  • All application documents have to be written in (or translated into) English!
  • All files (see list below) have to be sent in PDF format
  • All application files (except for the recommendation letters: see below) should be possibly sent at the same time. It means that you should wait until you have all files ready before submitting your application per email. If it is not possible to send all files with one email, because the attachment is then too big, the files can be sent using several emails in a row. But applications where files are sent on different dates might be discarded.
  • Alternatively, in case some files are too big to be sent by email, a link to a download page of all files can be sent. Here too, it is expected than the files to be downloaded are final.
  • The files should be named according to the nomenclature defined below (see right column: File names).
  • Exotic characters (like \, %, [ or ä)  should not be contained in the file name.
  • Only full applications arriving before deadline will be considered! Do not forget to ask soon enough two referees to send me their recommendation letters (8. below)!
