The EMBL is offering a PhD Fellowship Programme for applicants from all over the world. EMBL's students obtain their degree from a national university or jointly with EMBL. EMBL is also interested in promoting research at the interface between Molecular Biology and Medicine. We will offer the possibility to pursue an MD/PhD degree to medically qualified candidates on a case by case basis.

Eligibility Criteria:

Applicants must hold, or anticipate receiving before enrolment (October of any given year), a university degree that would formally qualify them to enter a PhD or equivalent programme in the country where the degree was obtained.
EMBL does not have a strict age limit. However, we would like to point out that the average age of our 1st year students is 25 years.
EMBL has 3 official languages (English, German and French). However, English is most commonly used across sites in the everyday working environment.
Proficiency in English, both written and verbal, is a prerequisite to enter the EMBL International PhD Programme.
Your application should be supported by a minimum of two academic reference letters.

ِAbout EMBL:

In December 1997, in recognition of the high quality of its EMBL International PhD Programme, EMBL was granted the right to award its own PhD, becoming the first international institution providing training in molecular biology in Europe that may do so. Currently, EMBL's students obtain their degree from a national university or jointly with EMBL. EMBL is also interested in promoting research at the interface between Molecular Biology and Medicine. We will offer the possibility to pursue an MD/PhD degree to medically qualified candidates on a case by case basis. The EMBL International PhD Programme is Europe’s ‘best in class’ PhD programme for the life sciences. 240 students from over 40 countries are carrying out PhD research at EMBL at any time. Every year we admit an average of 60 new students, who belong to the top science graduates in their countries. They are carefully selected from a large multi-national pool of applicants that reached over 1700 applications in 2012.
