PHD Programmes

In "Fördermodell 1", temporary new employments are made at HGK Basel to enable prospective students to pursue a PHD degree as part of a research project. Funding is provided by third-party foundations, which were raised by researchers from HGK Basel (e.g. project funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation).

The duration of the employment depends on the project duration, usually 3-4 years. The PHD is carried out in partnership with a university in Switzerland or abroad; the workplace is Basel. The degree of employment is usually 100%. Part-time employment is possible in justified cases.

Vacancies are advertised via the FHNW job portal.

If you are interested in initiating a research project and completing a PHD programme as part of this, interested persons contact the head of research of the institutes of th HGK Basel.
