Supervisor

It  is  worth  starting  the  recruitment  process  to  a  doctoral  school  at  the  University  of  Warsaw  by finding a supervisor, who are willing to provide care for the doctoral student and perform scientific supervision over their research project. In order to find a supervisor, candidates for the Doctoral Schools are encouraged to search through  the database of supervisors. The database contains the  list  of  University  of  Warsaw  researchers,  who  are  willing  to  perform  the  function  of  the dissertation supervisor.

Please note that not all potential supervisors are on the list. The candidates are also encouraged to consult the websites of the University of Warsaw faculties and academic units for information on academic teachers conducting their research.

According to the School Regulations, a potential supervisor can only be a person with:

• the habilitated doctor (doktor  habilitowany)  degree  or  an  equivalent degree or the title of professor as well as has to be an employee of the University of Warsaw or the employee of  the  institution  co-running  the  School  (Institute  of  Mathematics  Polish  Academy  of Sciences);
• the status of retired professor at the University of Warsaw.

The dissertation supervisor can be a person, who remains a  dissertation supervisor for no more than five doctoral students or persons applying for being awarded the doctor degree(e.g. participants of doctoral studies who have initiated a  doctoral dissertation process). In exceptional instances, the Director of School may increase this limit.
