New PhD Positions in the Institutional Excellence Program
Outstanding scientists are searching for interested students who possess an European Union citizenship (one of the 27 countries being part of the European Union) who have obtained an MSc degree, who have some previous experience in relevant fields, and who have interest also in pursuing applied research. Sciencefields concerned specifically are chemistry, neurobiology, molecular and plant genetics, behavioural sciences and informatics. Students need also to provide documents on advance English skills.
Studentships start in September 2019 and last for 4 years.
If you are interested in studying in Budapest, currently one of the most attractive and lively cities in the heart of Europe, and you believe that you have a competitive CV and the necessary motivation then do not hesitate to send a letter with the following information as soon as possible.
