Cologne International Graduate School
From Embryo to Old Age
10 Fellowships
3-year Ph.D. Programme starting fall 2009

The University of Cologne has a long-standing tradition and world-wide reputation of top-level molecular biological research. Beginning in the winter semester 2009/2010 the Research School in Biology „From embryo to old age: the cell biology and genetics of health and disease“ will be offering a high-level Ph.D. programme for students with excellent qualifications. The participating research groups use today's microbial, plant and animal model systems to investigate cell biological and genetic mechanisms whose perturbation during the life cycle of an organism results in disease.
The three-year programme starts with a six-month rotation and course period, followed by a PhD project in one of the participating groups. Seminars and training courses complement the research work. Comprehensive support is provided throughout the programme. The programme language is English, and no tuition fees apply.

10 competitive three-year fellowships (initially 1000 EUR, then 1300 EUR per month) are available.

We invite you to apply to the IGSDHD in Cologne, the exciting city in the heart of Europe.
