The Fribourg Graduate School of Life Sciences (FGLS) is an interdisciplinary, international graduate school, which offers a coordinated doctoral program in life sciences at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. It addresses doctoral students in the fields of biology, biochemistry, molecular medicine, chemistry, physics, bioinformatics, and mathematics who have a life science focus. State-of-the-art theoretical and experimental research will lead to a PhD in science.
Currently, we are recruiting students in the fields of:

We offer an integrated research and training program which leads to a PhD after three to four years. The entire program is run in English. It includes supervision and mentoring, as well as courses on novel technologies and soft skills. We expect applicants to have an excellent university degree and to be motivated and interested in interdisciplinary research subjects. Excellent communication skills in English are of benefit.
Candidates are requested to send by email a SINGLE PDF application including a CV, a brief statement of their research interests and the preferred lab, a copy of their Master diploma (with grades), and names of three referees to
