News
There is a significant gap between a PhD contract duration and the actual duration to finished manuscript. Through surveys and discussion sessions with several parties we gathered input on this topic. PON wants to highlight several key factors that contribute to this gap. We have also shared this outcome with the CvB of the University and the RvB of the UMC, and other relevant parties.
Welcome!
This is the website of the PhD Organisation Nijmegen (PON), the representative body for all PhD candidates at the Radboud University and the Radboudumc. On this website you can find information about who we are, what we organise for you, and other matters relevant to PhD candidates. See www.ru.nl/phd for the official university homepage for PhD candidates, or this page for external PhD candidates.
WhatsApp Community
We invite you to join the new WhatsApp PhD community hosted by PON. Within this platform you can find different groups and join the groups that you find interesting. We aim to use this community to inform PhDs in Nijmegen about events organized by PON and to inform about PhD policy matters. Moreover, we hope this platform will be a nice way for PhDs to connect and help each other. You can join the community by sending an email to pon@ru.nl and receiving the invite link. This is to avoid spams in the groups.Vacancies
