| Sep 5, 2019 at 7:08 | comment | added | Vladimir Dotsenko | Various scholarships obtained through the Marie Curie / Horizon 2020 funding actually have international mobility as one of the conditions. Look for Marie Curie RTN (research training networks) for opportunities of such scholarships. | |

| Sep 5, 2019 at 6:40 | comment | added | user43263 | @JochenGlueck I'm an EU citizen and I'm most interested in staying (somewhere) inside the EU. Your comment about the PhD situation in Germany is spot-on. I'd also be interested in names of PhD advisors in the domain of analysis/data science/topology that are known to be permissive and allowing their students to go abroead. (I know students whose advisor is very strict and will only allow them to go on at most one internship, which is at most 3 months.) | |
| Sep 5, 2019 at 6:40 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila♦ | I've done mine in Jerusalem, and I can tell you that most supervisors in Israel, at least in set theory, will be happy to give any student, that they deem strong enough to take as PhD students, a very large degree of freedom. I'm not sure how it works if you don't speak Hebrew, though. | |

| Sep 2, 2019 at 21:00 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | [continuation] For instance, in Germany (where I did my PhD) it is very common to do a PhD without affiliation to any specific PhD school or program. In such a case you are merely affiliated to your advisor's institute; it thus depends mainly on your advisor whether you enjoy a great amount of flexibility or are bound to very tight restrictions. Of course, this implies that you can achieve the flexibility that you would like to have by an appropriate choice of your advisor. | |
| Sep 2, 2019 at 21:00 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | May I ask in which country you live, and whether it would be an option for you to find a PhD advisor abroad? (Two previous comments refer to the US, but it is not clear to me from your post whether you live in the US, nor whether you want to do your PhD there). I'm asking since the flexibility of PhD programs (and even the question whether a PhD is embedded into such a program at all) differs between different countries. [to be continued] | |

| Sep 2, 2019 at 18:03 | comment | added | JSE | Almost all Ph.D. programs in the United States are funded by teaching assistantships. This would make it quite hard to be a remote Ph.D. student, since you need to be on campus in order to teach and you need to teach in order to get paid. | |
| Sep 2, 2019 at 17:05 | comment | added | Joseph O'Rourke | At many computer science PhD programs in the US, applicants are immediately assigned to a professor who selects them from the pool and supports them on their grants. This significantly restricts options, and so I would not consider those programs "highly flexible." | |
