We are pleased to announce the new call for the graduate program "RNA & Infection" through the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) in Würzburg, Germany.

HIRI is the first research institution worldwide to specifically investigate the role of RNA in infection processes.

Our goal is to exploit the enormous potential of RNA as a diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic agent in the development of new strategies to combat infectious diseases.

"RNA & Infection" PhD candidates will have the unique opportunity to undertake cutting-edge research at the intersection of RNA and infection biology.

Working on a fully funded three-year research effort independent of any group or project, students will complete three lab rotations before selecting their advisor and thesis project.

An interdisciplinary committee of international scientists will guide and support PhD candidates throughout their PhD.

Structured mentoring and training including short courses in RNA and infection biology, hard and soft skill workshops and opportunities to present their work at international conferences will prepare students not only for their PhD work but also for successful careers in academia, industry, policy, and more.

The program is taught in English and well supported by an integrated network of PhD students and supervisors.
