Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is "employment contract": the selection is not just about an academic file, but about being able to take on a funded doctoral job with tuition included. The real trap is underestimating how much the project fit matters: a strong one-page letter should show why this specific topic, with concrete proof from your master's work and methods, not a generic statement of interest. If you have experience with LA-ICP-TOF-MS, TEM-EDX, or confocal microscopy, put it first; if not, make up for it with thesis results, internships, or measurable achievements. Since the call is closed, keep your file ready for the next cycle and monitor the university's recruitment platform.
