The University of Konstanz, with its institutional strategy to promote Top-Level Research, has been receiving con­ti­nuous funding since 2007 within the framework of the Excellence Initiative by the German Federal and State Governments.

The Konstanz Research School Chemical Biology (KoRS-CB) is an interdisciplinary initiative of the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Computer & Information Science at the University of Konstanz and is supported by the German Excellence Initiative.

KoRS-CB guides talented graduate students to scientific excellence. The research projects are dedicated to the following research areas: Synthetic Chemistry, Cellular Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biomedicine, and Com­pu­ta­tio­nal Life Science.

The individually tailored training programme − fully in English language − and the intensive supervision by an interdisciplinary thesis committee are the basic elements for the excellent educational standards of the graduate school.

KoRS-CB will accept new fellows in October 2013. Thus, KoRS-CB invites applications for Fellowships for Ph.D. Students from highly motivated and enthusiastic students with a keen interest in interdisciplinary re­search and with an excellent degree (Master or Diploma) in Biology, Chemistry, Computational Life Science, or related areas.

Please send your application to the KoRS-CB office in one single pdf file via e-mail: application-chembiol@uni-konstanz.de by 17 July 2013.
