Guides for PhD students and postdocs
The University of Lausanne offers two very useful guides for doctoral candidates and for postdocs.
Furthermore, doctoral candidates are encouraged to attend the CUSO cross-disciplinary programs for developing generic skills.
Valuable information on the doctorate, academic careers and its alternatives, as well as many other useful links for doctoral students and postdocs are also available on the Portal for next-generation academics.
