Application and Admission notification for two 3-4 year DAAD PhD fellowships
HBIGS received funding for two competitve 3- or 4-year (depending on geographic origin of the applicant) PhD fellowships by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Qualified candidates who obtained their final degree outside Germany and whose first nationality is NOT German are invited to submit their unsolicited application through the Regular track (see below).
Applicants are requested to name at least two, but not more than four principal investigators in whose work they are interested in
The application must include two recommendation letters of referees affiliated to the home university of the applicant, preferably using the following DAAD form:
- DAAD recommendation letter (.pdf)

- Earliest start of PhD project : 01 Mar 2014
- 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).
The Regular Track is to be used by :- 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.
- 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.
- Students who do not find an advertised research project of their interest but have a general interest in a research area or a research group may submit an unsolicited application. Accordingly, a pool of applicants is generated whose applications will be kept for up to 6 months, with the possibility of reiterate extension if no match between an applicant and a principal investigator is found in due time.
- did not obtain their final degree at Heidelberg University or
- obtained their final degree at Heidelberg University (except MSc Fast track) 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 requested to submit their application to HBIGS before the date of graduation (the date of graduation is given on the Diploma certificate).
