Do you like to become a One Health expert in Helminthology? Do you like to work interdisciplinary and do your doctoral thesis in a structured doctoral program in Berlin? Here is your chance!
Research Training Group (RTG) is looking for highly motivated international candidates who are interested in infectious disease research with focus on helminths and share its vision to improve world’s health. The mission is to train creative, responsible and self-confident young researchers.

 
As member of the German Research Foundation (DFG)-funded Research Training Group (RTG) 3096 “One Health Approach to Soil-Transmitted Helminths,” successful applicants will work on scientific projects in an interdisciplinary manner within a structured program. In total, 9 doctoral researcher student positions in different scientific projects and labs are offered. The projects address the three “One Health” aspects: 1) human roundworm infections (close cooperation and fieldwork in Kenya / Africa), 2) roundworm infections in farm animals (chicken and pigs in Germany) and wildlife, and 3) environmental factors (sociological and economic field studies in Kenya and Germany). The RTG will thus incorporate human, animal, and environmental aspects into the research and training of candidates to become “One Health” infectious disease specialists. After four years of training in the structured doctoral program and the acquisition of at least 30 CP, candidates have the opportunity to obtain a certificate for the successful completion of a PhD graduate school.
