Application Procedure
Make contact early. If you're interested in our research, let us know. For PhD/postdoc, applying 6-12 months in advance is usually needed so we can find a long-term project match, check for funding and/or prepare scholarships, and block lab space.
MSc/PhD/Postdoc applicants: email Oliver, attaching a single PDF that makes your skills and interests clear - typically a short CV, your scanned academic transcript (BSc and MSc grades), supervisor reference/s, and contact phone & email of previous direct practical supervisors (typically PhD students or postdocs). Please don't put a picture in your CV.
All applicants (BSc, Forschungs-Praktika, MSc, PhD, Postdoc): To get a good response, please give the right information: e.g.
- (1) what type of research focus / methods you are looking for, and what related experience you already have, so we can see which project you might best fit with.
- (2) when you are available to do the research; and for internships, how many lab weeks you can do (eg "I can do 8 weeks in lab, flexible on timing between June 1 and Oct 15"), so we can fit you into our schedule.
- (3) contact details of your previous direct practical supervisors (not just the professor), optionally plus any reference letter, so we can get a feeling for your strengths.
- (4) marks transcript from BSc, MSc, etc (partial transcript if not completed yet), so we can see your theoretical background.
For short-term internships (< 3 months): if you already know which topic and PhD/postdoc supervisor you are interested in joining, feel free to contact them directly; otherwise apply by email as above.
