If the candidate and the future supervisor have both agreed on the PhD research project and a position is provided by the supervisor, the registration process can be started.
1) Registration for the Molecular Life Sciences PhD Program
a) Contact the program coordinator: email
2) Matriculation as a PhD student at UZH or ETH
In addition to the registration with the MLS program, the prospective PhD student must also matriculate at the University of Zurich or ETH Zurich, depending on the PhD supervisor’s affiliation.
Important: Please note that your supervisor’s group will deal with your employment contract and the necessary HR and visa formalities but it is your responsibility to register in parallel as a PhD student at either UZH or ETH. Permits for foreign PhD students are linked to the registration at a Swiss University, students should therefore start the registration process early on.
Here is a summary of the registration processes for PhD students at UZH and ETH:
