Within the REPAIRS network 15 PhD students will be recruited for a 3-year period (for PhD project 15 this will be a 4-year period) and receive an advanced interdisciplinary, intersectorial and international training provided by different universities, industry partners, rehabilitation centers and patient associations across Europe.
More detailed information about the network, the training and the research can be found on: www.repairs-etn.eu. The REPAIRS website contains detailed descriptions of each PhD project including a list of specific skills required for each project.
Below is a list with links to the description of each individual PhD project and a contact.
Note that this contact is to make inquiries about the project, applications via email will not be accepted. Only applications via the link at the bottom of this vacancy advertisement will be accepted.
