The international PhD program of the Biozentrum, University of Basel, Switzerland, is open for applications until June, 30th.
Successful candidates in this competitive program will have a chance to do two lab rotations of two month each before selecting a host lab at the Biozentrum for their PhD. They are generously supported by a personal fellowship (currently 42000/45000/48000CHF in the 1/2/3 year, plus an extra allowance for study-related expenses, such as meetings or laptops). All PhD students at Biozentrum are mentored by a PhD advisory committee and benefit from an excellent postgraduate teaching program, including specialized lecture and seminar series in structural biology. A PhD club organizes PhD retreats as well as lectures and seminars. With around 550 staff members from more than 30 countries in five major research areas (growth and development, structural biology & biophysics, neurobiology, infection biology as well as computational & systems biology) Biozentrum offers an interdisciplinary atmosphere for cutting-edge research. The Focal Area Structural Biology & Biophysics at Biozentrum provides a highly collaborative environment and state-of-the-art facilities for X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, electron microscopy and nanobiology. We are supported by core facilities for biophysical techniques, proteomics, advanced imaging, electron microscopy and quantitative genomics. For more information about groups and facilities see http://www.biozentrum.unibas.ch; for specific questions on the Focal Area Structural Biology & Biophysics, feel free to contact me informally (timm.ma...@unibas.ch<mailto:timm.ma...@unibas.ch>). The application procedure includes requests for letters of reference, so start your application in time.
