As a PhD fellow you can select a Biozentrum research group through rotations and get the chance to learn different skills and techniques needed for modern research. Therefore, the program is particularly well suited for students with broad interests. The fellowship gives you full and independent funding for your entire PhD and offers other benefits that foster scientific excellence. With this fellowship you could join the 40 fellows who conduct their research at the Biozentrum at the moment.
The selection procedure is based on in-person interactions on site. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the Biozentrum to present their research, participate in individual interviews with group leaders, visit different labs and get to know current PhD students, the Biozentrum and Basel.
