Supervisors – I year (2023)

According to the Regulations (§ 16 ust. 1), first-year doctoral students are required to submit an application for the appointment of a supervisor, along with a declaration from the person declaring their readiness to take on the role of supervisor [FILE1].

At the same time, you may apply for the appointment of an additional supervisor [FILE2] or an assistant supervisor [FILE3]. If this situation applies to you, please submit a separate application (including a justification), which should be positively reviewed by your prospective supervisor(s) (all details are included in the provided document templates linked above).

Based on the submitted applications, the SDNH Council, no later than three months from the day the doctoral student commences their education, appoints the supervisor(s).

Please note that changes to the composition of supervisors can be made at any time during your further education at the School. Please familiarize yourself with the rules described in the School’s Regulations [LINK].

Signed and complete applications should be sent to phd.nh@uw.edu.pl by October 31, 2023.

Supervisors may send their declaration of readiness to take on the supervision of a doctoral student directly to phd.nh@uw.edu.pl.

NOTE: If you are applying for the appointment of a person from outside the UW (applies to assistant and additional supervisors), it is mandatory to include a completed personal information questionnaire. This information is necessary for entering the person into the POLon system. Personal information questionnaire: [LINK].
