Description
The CLIB-Graduate Cluster Industrial Biotechnology offers 12 PhD scholarships starting in the spring 2011 semester. This is a structured doctoral programme of Bielefeld University, the TU Dortmund University and the Heinrich-Heine-University of Düsseldorf. All three universities are located in NRW, the most populous state of Germany with an excellent research and industrial infrastructure.

Doctoral candidates will join top research labs working both on applied and basic research, take part in key qualification courses and yearly retreats, and have the opportunity to join a company for a 3-month industrial internship. They will receive a stipend of 1500 EUR per month for a duration of 36 months.

Research projects span the range of industrial biotechnology and are available in the following areas:
