How to apply?

There are several ways to join the PhD Program:

• Apply directly to one of our open positions in research projects of the BCF or directly contact one of the BCF members whose research you are interested in..
• Join us by applying to the Spemann Graduate School of Biology & Medicine. Instructions on how to apply are detailed on the SGBM website.
• Provide your own funding, e.g. through a DAAD fellowship, a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes or from the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds. For these fellowships you typically need to submit a research proposal together with a potential supervisor. Please check the websites of the BCF members to find out whose research interests you most. You should contact that person directly and ask whether he/she is willing to discuss a possible project with you, to supervise your PhD thesis, and to support your funding application.
