Fully Funded PhD and MD-PhD positions
The Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) is an associated Institute of the University of Basel.
The IOB PhD and MD-PhD Program on Translational Visual Neurosciences offers a unique opportunity to make breakthrough discoveries in the function or dysfunction of the eye and the visual brain, as well as to develop radically new therapies for eye diseases. These therapies are urgently needed, since the prevalence of visual diseases is rising globally, and effective therapies are lacking for most of them.
As part of this program, IOB offers PhD and MD-PhD fellowships to outstanding candidates from diverse fields such as Biology, Medicine, Physics, Computer Sciences and Engineering who wish to pursue their research in any of our research groups (molecular and clinical re-search centre).
In addition to participating in world-leading vision research, IOB also offers an exciting program of lectures on vision, eye diseases and therapy, practical training in state of the art physiologi-cal, molecular and translational technologies, clinical time involving patient visits, practical training in scientific writing and in scientific presentations, in-depth advice on academic, indus-trial and clinical career pathways, as well as opportunities to participate in international sum-mer courses and conferences.
PhD and MD-PhD candidates will be enrolled at the University of Basel.
