About PlanetPhD

PlanetPhD exists because academic funding runs on deadlines, and deadlines are scattered across dozens of funder websites, newsletters, and PDFs. Miss one and you wait a year.

We pull open funding calls, fellowships, and academic positions directly from primary sources — the Grants.gov API, the NIH Guide, UKRI, and a growing list of funders — every day. Listings are deduplicated, tagged by discipline, and removed when they expire. Everything is organized around one question: what closes soon in my field?

The weekly digest

The heart of PlanetPhD is a free Monday email with the deadlines closing soon and what's new in your field. There are no accounts and no passwords — just your email and a one-click unsubscribe in every message. Subscribe here.

For funders and employers

Listings are free while PlanetPhD is in launch — post a funding call or position. Sponsorship of the weekly digest will open once the readership grows; get in touch if you'd like an early word.
