About this position
The Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine (SGBM) at the University of Freiburg is an international doctoral school offering a multidisciplinary research and training environment in the life sciences and biomedicine. Doctoral fellows work toward a PhD at the University of Freiburg, and medical doctors can also join an MD/PhD pathway.
The programme is embedded in a strong research network that includes outstanding research facilities and major partner institutions and clusters such as the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, CIBSS, BIOSS, BrainLinks-BrainTools, and the Bernstein Center Freiburg. Around 120 doctoral fellows are part of the school, creating a sizable and active research community.
Research areas span a broad set of topics, including protein structure and function, synthetic biology and signalling, developmental biology, neurosciences, immunology and virology, molecular medicine, and molecular plant sciences. Students carry out their experimental work in the laboratory of one of the principal investigators and assemble a thesis committee together with the school’s management to support their project development.
The school provides a structured research and training experience with seminars, journal clubs, lectures, conferences, practical training in new technologies, and courses in scientific skills and professional development. Students also benefit from a shared environment at the SGBM House and a yearly retreat that supports exchange across disciplines. The programme also supports international doctoral candidates with practical help for settling in Freiburg and navigating daily life in Germany.
Funding details
The programme is funded by the Ministry for Science, Research and Arts of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg; no tuition fees are charged.
What's required
Applicants for the doctoral programme must hold or be eligible for a PhD/doctoral-level background; the programme also accepts medical doctors for the MD/PhD track. Admission is highly competitive. The school is taught in English, and additional courses at the University of Freiburg may be in German, so German can be helpful for daily life but is not stated as a formal requirement.
How to apply
Apply via the SGBM application page. Follow the school’s admission process and submit the required doctoral application materials through the programme website.
