Graduate School IMM

PhD trajectory overview

At the start of your PhD, you will write a Training & Supervision Plan (TSP) and Project Plan (PP). The Training & Supervision plan includes themes like research strategy, frequency of contacts with the supervisors, courses to be followed and teaching tasks. The Project Plan describes the planned research and the applied methods. Radboud University uses the program Hora Finita to monitor all running PhD trajectories. In principle, after 48 months (full time employment) your PhD project is completed. When finalizing your PhD, your thesis manuscript will be submitted to the Manuscript Committee. After approval of the Manuscript Committee, you will defend your thesis before a Doctoral Examination Board.

PhD Panel IMM (PPIMM)

IMM has a PhD panel which includes PhD candidates of all three research themes. PPIMM aims to increase the interaction between IMM PhD candidates. This panel will organise activities for and by PhD candidates like workshops, colloquia and/or a symposium. It is also a platform to discuss courses or issues that you encounter throughout your PhD. The PhD representative is the head of this panel and has an advisory role for the board.

The PPIMM team members are:

• Etienne Walraven (Theoretical and Computational Chemistry) (chair)
• Joost Aretz (Theory of Condensed Matter)
• Fleur Brinkman (Biomolecular Chemistry)
• Ruth Crothers (Physical Chemistry of Soft Matter)
• Sandra Kleuskens (HFML High Field Magnet Laboratory)
• Tjacco Koskamp (Theory of Condensed Matter)
• Teun van Wieringen (Molecular Structure and Dynamics)
