Do you aspire to pursue a PhD in environmental sciences at the University of Basel? 

The first step is to find a PhD supervisor by applying to advertised PhD positions or contacting potential PhD supervisors directly. Funded PhD positions are listed on the University of Basel job portal. Please follow the application instructions provided in each listing carefully.

The PhD Program Environmental Sciences itself does not offer funded positions. Many PhD students are supported by third-party funding tied to specific research projects. Alternatively, candidates may secure their own funding through external fellowships (to be applied for independently).

Joining the PhD Program Environmental Sciences is possible once you have been registered as a PhD student at the University of Basel.
