To do:

  • The PhD candidate needs an Amsterdam UMC / AMC personnel number for instance (1) to get an @amsterdamumc.nl email address, (2) to be able to work in the view environment, (3) to get access to the University Library and (4) to register for Doctoral School courses
  • Make sure that the external PhD candidate is registered with the Amsterdam UMC Doctoral School
  • When it is not possible for the external PhD candidate to be physically present in the AMC, please contact the ICT-service desk to request an Amsterdam UMC email address for the external PhD candidate (see additional contact details here below):
    Phone: +31(0)205663011 
    Location: D0-208 (AMC) Monday-Friday from 7.30 - 17.00
  • The external PhD candidate should fill in a PhD Plan together with the (co-)supervisors. However, if the external PhD candidate is following a trajectory at Sanquin, NKI/AvL or another institution that has its own similar document, they are exempted to fill in the PhD Plan. In this case, the external PhD candidate should let us (=The Doctoral School) know this.
  • The PhD plan will also be discussed in the PhD plan meeting with the Doctoral School PhD advisor 
  • 1.5 years after the start date, the external PhD candidate should follow the PhD Progress & Consultation procedure, together with the (co-)supervisors. However, if the external PhD candidate is following a trajectory at Sanquin or at NKI/AvL, (s)he is probably already involved in a local PhD monitoring system. Since we do not want PhD candidates to be engaged in redundant activities, our PhD Progress & Consultation procedure is not applicable to them. They should merely send us a copy of their Progress Report and report of the meeting with the PI's, instead
