I am currently considering Ph.D. or postdoctoral opportunities in Europe and have a strong preference for research-focused positions. I am interested in pursuing a program or position where the primary emphasis is on research, and teaching assistance responsibilities are minimal or non-existent.
I understand that teaching assistance can be an essential part of many academic programs, and I am open to some level of involvement in teaching. However, I am particularly interested in finding opportunities where I can dedicate most of my time and energy to conducting research and contributing to academic advancements in my field.
Are there universities or research institutions in Europe that offer Ph.D. or postdoctoral positions with a primary focus on research and minimal teaching assistance responsibilities? If so, could you please provide some examples or share your experiences with such programs?
