Doctoral Degree / PhD
All academic research groups at universities and technical universities offer the possibility for doctoral studies (a PhD) after the completion of a respective master’s degree. Research institutes like the Max-Planck‑, Helmholtz‑, Leibniz- and Fraunhofer Institutes typically provide PhD programs in cooperation with universities. A PhD program entails active, participatory involvement in bioinformatics research and typically lasts 3–4 years. Some universities and research institutions offer coordinated PhD programs like graduate schools. If you are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree, we recommend initially selecting research groups based on content-related criteria and inquiring in advance about available doctoral positions and scholarships.
