Welcome to join the next PhD Chapter meeting!

Do you want to use some extended PhD student time (up to max 20% per year) to work with career events, educational projects and seminars? Do you want to get involved in the decision-making process and represent PhD student rights at KTH? Are you ready to meet new friends and be inspired besides your own research? Then we want you for the next PhD Chapter board. Applications are open until May 25th. Please, follow the instructions on our elections page in order to apply!

It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that THS and the PhD Chapter names have been wrongly used by one of our board members to send a survey to KTH staff based on a scientifically very poor questionnaire. We have come to the understanding that the object of such action was to help the development of a student’s master thesis at Stockholm University. The personal involvement of our board member, due to their role in our organization, has created confusion and lead to a situation of discomfort for many KTH employees. We hope that anyone who has been offended or bothered by such survey can accept our apologies, while the matter will be investigated further.

/The PhD Chapter Board

As a member of the Election Board you have two tasks. The first is to market the elections at your chapter. You will be given all the marketing materials you need by the election coordinator, but you need to adjust it for your chapter and choose what channels to post it in. The second task is to review the election at your chapter and the work and reports done by the election coordinator.

The work in the Election Board only takes 8-20 hours per year. Free lunches are also provided. But it is an important position to THS and THS chapters.
