Fully Funded Scholarship at the Friedrich Miescher Institute

The FMI PhD program offers students the opportunity to carry out biomedical research at the highest level in a stimulating, highly international and collaborative atmosphere.

Who can apply

  • Applicants must hold, or anticipate receiving before enrollment, a university degree that would formally qualify them to enter a PhD or equivalent program in their home country (MSc., Diploma, DEA etc.)
  • Admission is competitive, involving a selection procedure that takes place twice a year (in January and June)

What the scholarship covers

The FMI provides financial support to graduate students in accordance with the scale of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Salary is generous relative to international standards for PhD students.

Students work with internationally recognized scientists and have access to cutting-edge technology platforms.

A wide range of theoretical and practical courses are available at both the FMI and the University of Basel.

The main supervisor and mentor of the PhD student is the leader of the research group. Students are also supported by their thesis advisory committee composed of internal and external experts whom the students choose together with their supervisor.

The FMI put in place mentoring guidelines and conducts lab surveys on a regular basis to maintain excellence in mentoring.

Additional academic advice, professional development support and advocacy on behalf of the students is also available through the FMI Dean of Students and the Guidance Counsellor.
