Position Description

The “International PhD Programme for Medical Doctors”, Emerald, trains and nurtures excellent physician-scientists with the goal to bridge the gap between the clinic and the lab.

ARE YOU:

– A medical doctor with up to four years of research experience?
– Eager to explore why diseases arise and to contribute to development of novel treatment?
