Biozentrum PhD Fellowships Program 2023




Location: Basel, Switzerland


Last Date of Applications: May 25, 2023


Application link:


The Biozentrum encourages talented, ambitious and highly motivated young scientists from all over the world to apply for the prestigious and sought after fellowships offered by the Biozentrum Basel International PhD Program. In contrast to many other PhD student programs that aim at a broad recruitment of many candidates, the Biozentrum PhD Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to a maximum of 10 successful candidates per year. Recipients are offered a unique rotation-based selection of a research group of choice and a number of other incentives that foster the scientific excellence and the career prospects of these PhD candidates.


The “Biozentrum PhD Fellowships” program was established in 2006 with the generous support of the Werner Siemens-Foundation who recognized the value of an international excellence program. After the initial financial support of the Werner Siemens-Foundation, the University of Basel took over funding the salaries of new fellows in 2010 to assure the continuation of the program, since it has proven to be both a great opportunity for the graduates and an enrichment for the international community of the Biozentrum.


Requirements:

  • Must have or expect to receive a university degree that qualifies you for a PhD (Master's degree or equivalent).

  • In exceptional cases, outstanding students with a 4-year bachelor's degree, usually not from the Bologna system, are also eligible to apply. They will be able to complete the master's program at the university on an accelerated basis as part of their scholarship.

  • Until a scholarship decision is made, candidates cannot be enrolled as graduate students in and cannot sign a working contract with a doctoral program at a given university.
