Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is « exclusively online »: the first filter is procedural, not just academic. What separates strong applications is the ability to show research that is ready for a hybrid post, with empirical output, an annual seminar, and grant applications to be developed. The two articles or thesis chapters should prove method, not only topic. Prepare an application that clearly links your doctorate, your R or Python skills, and your availability for 1 April 2027.
