International NanoBioTechnology PhD Program in Germany

The International Doctorate Program NanoBioTechnology is an international doctoral excellence program in NanoBioTechnology, funded by the Elite Network of Bavaria (ENB). The program offers outstanding graduate students the opportunity to earn their doctoral degree in a structured program providing interdisciplinary research conditions and excellent education.

The program involves faculty members from Physics, Biophysics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, and Environmental Sciences as well as Medicine and is administrated by the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich.

NanoBioTechnology

NanoBioTechnology is an emerging and highly promising field that combines nanosciences with biotechnology.
The exploration of nanoscale structures and material properties on the molecular level is part of the research of nanoscientists. The goal is to achieve control of molecular interactions and functionalities in such a way that novel applications become feasible in fields such as nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and nanomedicine.

The PhD scholarships include:

  • Financial support
  • Excellent research facilities
  • English as working language
  • Supervision by a thesis advisor and co-advisor
  • Lectures, seminars and workshops in the field of Nanosciences and Nanobiosciences
  • Retreats and international exchange programs
  • Professional skills workshops
  • German language course
  • Participation in the stimulating network of nanoscientists at CeNS
