Funding

Funding for GSLS PhD & MD students

Money plays a crucial role in science. Everyone who has worked in groups with different level of funding immediately knows the difference. While it is possible to pursue your PhD without spending a thought on budgets and grants, you benefit from securing funds in multiple ways:

1. It enables you to do things previously out of reach (e.g. attend a really nice conference) or makes your research life easier (e.g. through expensive specialized kits for your experiments).
2. It boosts your chances for a scientific career. Funding you secure is a valuable asset for your CV and increases your chances for a good postdoc or group leader position.
3. Writing applications for funding is a key skill for everyone aspiring to a group leader position and this is an area where experience plays a big part.
4. You make your supervisor happy, if you tax his resources less.

In this section of our homepage, we introduce the funding the GSLS provides to all of its doctoral researchers.
