In general, the eligibility criteria are those established by the MSCA programme, in particular for Doctoral Networks.

• A Master's degree (or expect to have one soon) with a strong academic record in a related scientific field is required. It can also be a long degree, or an engineering degree, depending on the doctoral school. There are several routes to doctoral studies. You will have to indicate this in the relevant section of the application form.
• Researchers recruited onto a DN must be doctoral candidates, i.e. not already in possession of a doctoral degree at the date of the recruitment. (Researchers who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will not be considered eligible).
• Being eligible to be enrolled in a doctoral programme leading to the award of a degree in at least one EU Member State or Horizon Europe associated country.

For the SIGNATURE programme, each individual project has established specific eligibility conditions.

• Please check each particular case in the Applicant Guide.

DCs participating in SIGNATURE will undertake novel research to reach the different research objectives. In addition, as a student of the SIGNATURE doctoral network, you will have the opportunity to get to know the 3TR project.

3TR project aims to provide fundamental new insights into the mechanisms of response and non-response to treatment. Thereby, we challenge the conventional “single disease”-based approach, in which diseases are classified according to their end-organ involvement rather than the molecular pathways underpinning them.

The -selection process- will be in line with the European Charter for Researchers and the European Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (HRS4R).

1st Step - Eligibility criteria check ✔️

2nd Step - Selection of candidates for interview. Applications must be in English and will be evaluated as following:

• academic records;
• scientific quality of the candidate's CV;
• expected individual impact and benefit for the fellow and for the project;
• previous experience in the subject of the SIGNATURE research programme.

3rd Step - Interview (A maximum of six applicants per individual project will be interviewed)

The candidates for each position will be invited for an online (or face to face) interview (in the period 01-31 APRIL 2023).

Interviews will be held by the recruiting institution and led by the head researcher of the individual project.

Those chosen candidates from each Individual Project will be asked to provide a written acceptance of the studentship. If a successful candidate declines the offer, the studentship will be offered to the next ranked candidate.
