Austria: International PhD Program: Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Signaling at MFPL

Overview

MFPL is located at the Vienna Biocenter Campus (VBC) (www.viennabiocenter.org), established in 1992 to connect eight life science departments doing research in molecular biology at the University of Vienna with the privately funded industry Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP, www.imp.ac.at). Since then, the Campus has grown both in size and intellectually, until the recent addition of the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA, www.oeaw.ac.at) and Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology (GMI, www.oeaw.ac.at) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Today’s VBC is an internationally competitive research center with a staff of more than 900 scientists from 40 different countries and a scientific culture that fosters exchange among the partners.

Admission requirements

Our target group are excellent students from all disciplines of natural and life sciences and medicine who are motivated to pursue their scientific career in an international research environment. The candidates must hold, or be close to obtaining, an undergraduate degree equivalent to a Master, which would enable them to enter a PhD Program in their own country. In general, applicants should not be older than 30 when they apply, although career breaks will be taken into account.

The selection procedure, all training activities, communication, and interaction will be in English, and the participating students are expected to be proficient in English.


Letters of recommendation:

Letters of recommendation are an essential part of your application. These letters should be written by two scientists who are familiar with your academic work and can judge your potential as a PhD student. Please forward this template to your referees and ask them to send a .pdf file of their recommendation, printed on official paper and signed, to registration@phd-cellular-signaling.at. The name of the candidate should be indicated in the “Subject” line. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that the referees write to us before April 5, 2010. Applications lacking letters of recommendation will not be processed.Selection procedure and admission:

Complete applications will be reviewed by the Program Faculty and other group leaders of the Vienna Biocenter. Short-listed candidates will be invited to visit the Vienna Biocenter for a five-day period of interviews and information exchange, which will take place in June 2009. The successful candidates will be offered admission at the end of the interview period. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
