Recruitment
In order to recruit top Master’s student and PhD candidates,
visibility is important. Top quality research makes the Centre
visible in the academic world but not necessarily among
students. Six PhD students started in August 2015. Many of
them were recruited as a result of a recruitment campaign
in the spring of 2015. One of SFI CASA’s goals is to train 20
PhDs over eight years. The Centre organized a seminar for
Master’s students at NTNU on 9 November 2015 in order to
attract students for Master’s studies at SFI CASA. Two other
goals for SFI CASA is to attract Norwegian PhD candidates
and to improve the gender balance in this field of research
as traditionally there is a vast majority of male students and
researchers. Further recruitment measures are needed, and
will be initiated in the years to come.
