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 organised 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 here.Vacancies
