About this scholarship
Doctoral programme in molecular organ biology at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research and partner institutions, with an October 2027 programme start.
Minimum requirements
Master's degree or equivalent in biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics or a related discipline; English C1 required (proof via placement test or interview); the degree need not be held at application but must be awarded before the start; the programme is conducted in English only.
Application checklist
- Confirm your degree field fits biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics or a related discipline
- Check your English level against C1 (placement test or interview proof)
- Register in the application database when it opens in November 2026
- Invite referees early: they must upload before 31 January 2027
- Submit before 31 January 2027 - no applications are accepted after the deadline
Application tips
- The deadline is absolute, so treat referee uploads as part of your own deadline, not theirs.
- If your degree will only be awarded before the start, state that clearly; it is allowed, but the award must precede the start.
- Use the March recruitment day and April/May visit window to confirm the group fit before accepting.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
