Is this really an *answer* to the question?

@Jukka, actually I was thinking about posting something similar. Announcing PhD positions is very uncommon in US *and Canada*. North American universities admit PhD students every year. Whether a particular professor is looking to get new students is a different story.

<p>PhD positions in TCS and Discrete Math are sometimes announced on <a href="https://listserv.nodak.edu/archives/theorynt.html">TheoryNet</a> and <a href="http://www.zaik.de/AFS/publications/dmanet/">DMANET</a>. These are mailing lists to circulate announcements and questions regarding conferences, workshops, seminars, books and jobs in these areas.</p>

<p>For type theory, the TYPES/announce mailing list appears to be the place where these are announced.  There's also the LOGIC mailing list where theoretical jobs are announced in the German speaking world.</p>

<p>Are there any ways of getting to know about new PhD positions in TCS other then just looking trough ubniversity/research groups web sites? </p>

<p>Maybe people from different branches (type theory, verification, complexity, etc.) can name some specialized mailing-lists where PhD positions announcements are quite usual.</p>

PhD positions in TCS and Discrete Math are sometimes announced on [TheoryNet](https://listserv.nodak.edu/archives/theorynt.html) and [DMANET](http://www.zaik.de/AFS/publications/dmanet/). These are mailing lists to circulate announcements and questions regarding conferences, workshops, seminars, books and jobs in these areas.
