Doctoral Positions

In addition to doctoral fellowships, paid doctoral positions (employment contracts with the University) are a common way to fund one’s doctoral training. One of the best ways to locate such positions is to make contact with the professor or potential supervisor whose research interests most closely match your own. Professors, institutes and faculties at the University of Heidelberg generally provide such information on their web sites.

To find a paid doctoral position, you can also consult the academic job market which lists openings at the University and nationwide/European academic employment web sites:
