Training

Advanced training is one of EMBL's four core missions. Over the years, the Laboratory has established a number of highly successful training activities, of which the world-class and frequently copied EMBL International PhD Programme is the flagship. The EMBL International PhD Programme is renowned for the internationality of its students, the dedicated mentoring provided by its supervisors and the early independence granted to its researchers. Entry is highly competitive, and the programme is committed to providing its PhD students with the best starting platform for a successful career in science.

EMBL provides an exciting environment for postdoctoral fellows. World class research labs and facilities, high quality seminar programmes and the vibrant international atmosphere combine to ensure that postdoctoral fellows have access to all they need at this critical career stage.

EMBL welcomes undergraduate visitors, 'summer students', trainees, 'diploma students' and other scientists who become associated with the EMBL for a limited period of time for training purposes. The duration of such work must not exceed twelve months. Such training opportunities are to be discussed directly with Group or Team leaders.
