PhD Programme in Biomedical Sciences is a programme at the Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences the Jagiellonian University in Krakow with a strong inter-disciplinary, international and intersectoral research and training dimension.

The school will recruit early stage researchers (ESRs) in an open call, targeting the most talented and motivated ESRs in the fields of Biological and Medical Sciences. The recruitment process will adhere to the guidelines set in the code of conduct for the recruitment of researchers and the European charter for researchers, ensuring transparency of the recruitment process based on the merit and skills of applicants. The recruitment process will not discriminate against applicants based on their personal features.

Training will be focused on the interests and expertise of researchers working at one of the three units:

2. Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET),
3. National Synchrotron Radiation Centre SOLARIS.

The program covers various areas of biology:

1. synthetic,
2. structural,
3. molecular,
4. cellular,
5. developmental

and utilizes plants, viruses, bacteria, invertebrates and vertebrates. The program is also linked to interdisciplinary studies in endothelial biomedicine.

The applicants are recruited for the specific research topics offered by the potential supervisors.

They encourage their students to get involved in the broad range of scientific activities of MCB, JCET, and Solaris research groups. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn to think across disciplines and build up initial collaborations and cross-disciplinary skill sets.

The programme is run in English in an eight-semester system.
