3-Year-Track

ELIGIBILITY

We are looking for highly motivated PhD students who have a record of excellence in their previous studies. PhD students who have been enrolled in the GTC doctoral program since January 2021 and who are supervised by IMPRS faculty members are welcome to apply. If you are not yet a PhD student in Tübingen, then you can apply directly to join the lab of one of the IMPRS faculty members. If they accept you, and you enroll in the GTC doctoral program, then you can apply to join the IMPRS-MMFD PhD track.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Calls for applications for the PhD track are issued once a year.

We strongly recommend submitting an application as early as possible. Submitting early will give us more time to check the application carefully and contact candidates if we have any questions.
