Humboldt University Berlin: Berlin School of Mind and Brain International Doctoral Programme
Deadline for students applying for the programme and for one of the School's own scholarships (i.e. for all those currently without funding): 15 January
Applications by students who have secured funding (e.g. scholarships from funding agencies such as DAAD or Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, or have been offered research grants or research positions by their supervisors) will be accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year. Exclusive deadlines for these latter applicants (in addition to 15 January): 15 May and 15 September
The Berlin School of Mind and Brain is an international research school, located in the vibrant heart of Berlin. Founded in 2006 as part of Germany's Excellence Initiative, it offers a unique three-year interdisciplinary doctoral programme in English in the mind/brain sciences.
Research within the School focuses on the interface between the humanities and the neurosciences. Of particular interest are research areas that fall on the borders between the mind sciences (e.g., philosophy, linguistics, behavioural and cognitive science, economics), and the brain sciences (e.g., neurophysiology, computational neuroscience, neurology, and neurobiology). Major topics of research within the programme include: conscious and unconscious perception, decision-making, language, brain plasticity and lifespan ontogeny, mental disorders and brain dysfunction, and the philosophy of mind. However, research is not limited to these areas, and students are strongly encouraged to develop and work on their own initiative on any projects that are relevant to interdisciplinary questions relating to mind and brain.
The school offers a number of scholarships (currently 1,150 EUR per month) to the best applicants. Students who were not successful in winning one of the school's own scholarships will receive support in obtaining alternative sources of funding (e.g. a research post within a university department or with one of the school's research groups, or help in finding alternative funding sources for a scholarship).
All students will receive financial support from the school for conference travel.
Humboldt University additionally administers several scholarship programmes: forschung.hu-berlin.de/research/young_scientists/standardseite
