Questions
Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?

Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.

Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
