ACT is a collaboration between 4 universities and 3 research companies in northern Europe. Both PhDs will primarily work at the Uppsala Babylab. In addition the collaborative nature of the project requires that PhDs participate in network meetings and spend a few months at other network locations.
The PhD position is for four years and the doctoral student will primarily engage in research. The positions are financed by scholarship for the first 3 years. A mobility- and travel allowance, and career exploratory will also be available. The last year is financed by the Department resources.
