Students are simultaneously enrolled in the graduate divisions at both the Berkeley and San Francisco campuses. This structure provides access to courses, laboratories, an...

This F.R.S.-FNRS fellowship supports a clinical doctor who is beginning a PhD while continuing part-time specialist work in a university hospital. The award is designed for applicants in the French-speaking part of Belgium and is tied to a research appointment at a university with a medical school. The project sits at the intersection of clinical practice and academic research. During the fellowship, the candidate carries out hospital-based clinical duties and pursues doctoral research in a heal...

The Integrated Research Training Group (iRTG) of TRR 333 – Brown and Beige Fat: Organ Crosstalk, Signalling and Energetics (BATenergy) at the University of Bonn offers an English-language doctoral programme in a highly multidisciplinary research environment. Doctoral candidates will work on the biological crosstalk between cell organelles, cells, tissues, and organs, with a focus on the systemic regulation of energy balance. The programme is part of a collaborative research network involving the...

The Regensburg International Graduate School of Life Sciences (RIGeL) at the University of Regensburg offers a structured doctoral programme for young scientists in the life sciences. The school brings together research opportunities across biomedicine , cellular biochemistry and biophysics , molecular ecology and evolution , and neurobiology , giving doctoral researchers access to a broad range of topics from molecular mechanisms to complex biological systems. RIGeL is embedded in the biologica...

The University of Tübingen offers a PhD programme in Experimental Medicine with an optional MD/PhD track, designed as a project-oriented doctoral education in basic and applied medical research. The programme centers on an individual research project that is submitted as a doctoral thesis, supported by specialised courses and small-group seminars that help doctoral researchers build advanced scientific and professional skills. The research training spans a broad set of medically relevant areas, ...

The Center for Infection Biology (ZIB) at Hannover Medical School offers an international PhD programme in Infection Biology for students interested in the complex interactions between host and pathogen. The programme combines fundamental research with tools from immunology, cell biology, and molecular biology, giving doctoral researchers a strong basis for studying infection-related biological processes. Students work on a three-year research project, attend seminars, conventions, and lab cours...

The PhD programme of the Faculties of Veterinary Medicine and Medicine at Justus Liebig University Giessen combines a supervised experimental research project with structured doctoral training over three semesters of graduate coursework in a full-time setting. The programme is based in Gießen and is taught in English, with German language courses available for international students. Students work on a clearly defined research topic using appropriate methods, with the goal of generating scientif...

Osnabrück University is recruiting a PhD candidate or postdoctoral researcher as a Research Associate for an interdisciplinary project in immunology and mechanobiology. The project, “Cyclic Mechanical Forces Sustain Cytotoxic Immune Competence,” explores how physiological mechanical forces encountered during circulation and breathing help preserve cytotoxic immune function. The research focuses on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, which are essential for immune survei...
