Eligibility

Who is eligible to apply?

Applicants must hold a German Master (M.Sc.), a German Diploma or an equivalent international degree in a biological discipline (for the specific subjects, please see the project descriptions). It is not necessary to hold the degree at the time of your application, but prior to taking up a position with us. If you have an MD or DVM degree with only clinical qualifications, we cannot consider your application unless you have prior substantial laboratory experience.

The working language of our school is English. Therefore, we expect all our doctoral candidates to have excellent command of spoken and written English (B2/C1 or above). Providing a language test result helps us with the assessment. If you have studied in English or have been abroad, please indicate this in your application. In this case, you need to upload a letter of the university stating you studied in English (also please indicate course length/hours).
