The language of the EVEREST programme is English. All EVEREST-specific courses and workshops are taught in English. Yet, PhD students can also acquire credits via the regular courses offered within the University of Tübingen, and these include many courses taught in German.
German courses are available at the university’s House of Languages: www.uni-tuebingen.de/en/1056.
Please note that it is only possible to enter the programme after getting a PhD position in Tübingen. Hence, please keep an eye on the job ads to apply for a specific PhD position, or contact individual group leaders you are interested in working with for potential opportunities.
PhD projects can start at any time, depending on funding.
The graduate programme EVEREST offers doctoral students interdisciplinary education in evolution and ecology. It promotes the scientific independence of participating students, facilitates the acquisition of key qualifications for research and career planning, and enhances networking options within and beyond Tübingen. Supervision by individual Thesis Advisory Committees (TAC) and evaluation by an External Advisory Board guarantee the quality of the training within EVEREST.
PhD projects can start at any time, but they require independent funding. Funding may come either (i) through scholarships applied for by the students or (ii) through research funding, including PhD positions acquired by EVEREST faculty. Please contact the EVEREST faculty if you are interested in any of their research subjects.
