Application and Admission
Qualified PhD candidates are invited to submit applications throughout the whole year. All applicants to HBIGS have to submit their application before (!) the start of their PhD project. Students who have already started their PhD project in the research group of an HBIGS PI are not eligible to apply (The starting date of your PhD is usually identical to the starting date of your contract). Students who wish to become a member of HBIGS may apply via one of two tracks: 1. The Regular Track or 2. The Fast Track.

!!! PhD FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE !!!
Three year fellowships are offered to outstanding PhD candidates.
Deadline for application: 15 Dec 2009

Only unsolicited applications via the Regular Track will be considered for fellowships (see paragraph below for details)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. The Regular Track
The Regular Track is to be used by:a) Applicants who are not yet accepted as prospective PhD student by a member of the HBIGS faculty. These students - either coming from Heidelberg University or from outside Heidelberg - are invited to submit their applications to advertised PhD positions and/or to submit an unsolicited application.
Unsolicited applications
Students who do not find an advertised research project of their interest but have a general interest in a research area may submit an unsolicited application. Applicants are encouraged to appoint their preferred research group(s).
Applications to advertised PhD projects
Students may apply to up to three advertised PhD positions within the deadlines set for the respective projects. Students applying to advertised PhD positions are expected to receive their final degree before the start of the respective PhD projects.
Please note that projects are removed from the website even before the deadline is reached when an appropriate applicant is found. We, therefore, recommend to apply as early as possible to announced projects.

b) Applicants who
- did not obtain their final degree at Heidelberg University or
- obtained their Diploma degree at Heidelberg University
and who are already accepted as prospective PhD student in the research group of an HBIGS faculty member. Diploma students from Heidelberg university who will continue their PhD project in the lab where the Diploma thesis was done are to submit their application to HBIGS before the date of graduation (the date of graduation is given on the Diploma certificate). In addition, they are requested to apply via the "unsolicited application" option and fill in and upload the following "Statement of acceptance as PhD student"

2. The Fast Track
This track is only to be used by MSc students of Heidelberg University - either with or without a final degree - who are already accepted as a prospective PhD student by an HBIGS faculty member. MSc students who will continue their PhD thesis in the lab where the MSc thesis is done in general are to apply to HBIGS before finishing the MSc thesis (the MSc thesis is finished after passing the oral MSc thesis defense).-> Read Application & Admission Requirements for the Fast Track
