There are two ways to apply for the Imaging Sciences in Medicine doctoral program:
Applicants without a PhD position have to apply via track 1. Within the doctoral program, PhD positions will be advertised competitively in each application round. Open positions will be published on www.jobs.uzh.ch in spring/autumn. All applications received via track 1 will be checked for their suitability for the open positions. In an interview, the admissions commission examines the admission to the doctoral program. The person who has an open PhD position also takes part in the interview.
Applicants who already have a supervisor for their PhD-project have to apply via track 2. In an interview, the admissions commission evaluates the qualification and motivation of the candidate. Please do not start your PhD-position before the interview.
For the applications track 2 the deadlines July 1 and December 1 apply.
For some PhD positions, the licence to practice Medicine from the Swiss Bundesamt für Gesundheit (BAG)is mandatory for candidates with a master’s degree in Medicine that was not issued in Switzerland.
Applications will be reviewed by the admissions committee after the deadline. Interviews will be held in English or German. During the interview questions about the professional development, goals, and the motivation related to the program are included.
