Outstanding students from any country are invited to apply for the prestigious Biozentrum PhD Fellowship program 2025. Biozentrum PhD Fellowships currently offer numerous benefits for the selected fellows.
Opportunity Details
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 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.
Unique rotation-based choice of lab
The special feature of the fellowships is that they are independent and neither tied to a research group nor to a project. As a fellow you have the unique opportunity to conduct research in at least two different labs at the Biozentrum (rotations), before you decide on the research group in which you want to do your PhD thesis (pending approval of the respective group leader). The duration of these rotations are at least two months each.
Perks
You are also offered a number of incentives to support your scientific excellence, your personal growth and your carrier opportunities. Currently, the following benefits are provided (annual changes may apply):
The PhD thesis underlies the general rules and guidelines of the University of Basel and fellows are automatically part of the Biozentrum International PhD Program. The fellowship provides full funding for the entire PhD.
