    Checklists for international students and their supervisors

    Students from abroad willing to do their PhD in one of our 9 NeuroMarseille’s laboratories are invited to consult the list of administrative formalities, put together by the NeuroMarseille*NeuroSchool team. We’ve done one for the supervisors who are not to be left alone!
    We, therefore, invite everyone interested to consult these 2 checklists for an arrival as smooth as possible:

    🔎  Link to the student's checklist
    🔎  Link to the supervisor's checklist

    Good student/supervisor relationship

    Relationships can sometimes be tense between PhD students and their directors. To appease them, have a look and use this poster, that focuses on advice for both sides of the relationship. Remember: these tips are not strict rules and must be adapted to each context! Also, feel free to contact your PhD mentor if you encounter issues in the course of your PhD.
