About PlanetPhD

Academic funding runs on deadlines, and the deadlines are scattered. They sit on funder websites, in mailing lists, and in PDFs linked three clicks down. Most get announced once. Miss one and for a lot of programmes you are waiting a year for the next round.

So we put them in one place. Funding calls, fellowships and academic jobs are pulled daily from the people who publish them: the Grants.gov API, the NIH Guide, UKRI, and a list of funders we keep adding to. Duplicates get merged, listings are tagged by field, and anything past its closing date drops off the site.

The weekly digest

The site is handy, but the digest is the point. One email on a Monday with what closes soon in your field and what turned up in the last week. There is no account and no password. You give us an address, we send you deadlines, and every message has an unsubscribe link that works in one click. Sign up here.

For funders and employers

Posting is free while we are getting started, so if you run a programme or you are hiring, add a listing. We will open up sponsorship of the digest once there are more readers. If that sounds useful, better to say hello now than later.
