What students see

Post openings for PhD students, Master's students, Postdocs, Research assistants and Research interns.
Review together
Add your postdocs, students or co-supervisors as reviewers, even if they aren't on Inested yet. They rate and take notes on applicants; only you can edit or close the opening.
Ratings and notes are visible only to you and your reviewers, never to applicants.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Posting openings, receiving applications and replying to applicants are free for professors and students, with no limit on applicants.
Who can post an opening?
Faculty with a Professor profile on Inested. Create an account, choose Professor as your profile type, and you can post right away.
What do applicants send?
A CV always, plus whatever you ask for: transcript, statement, writing sample, references or an English test, as PDFs. You can add up to three screening questions, and every applicant answers the same ones.
Who sees the applications?
Only you and the lab members you add as reviewers. Students never see other applicants, your ratings or your notes; they only see their own status (Under review, Interview, Offer or Not selected).
How do students find my opening?
It gets its own page you can share, and it appears on the Inested jobs board under "Posted by labs", where students search by field, country and funding.
Can I close or edit it later?
Yes. Edit it any time, close it when you have enough applicants, and reopen it if you need more.
