The application process for the GSLS Fellowships consists of two stages, starting with a screening of all applications submitted followed by interviews (either personal or through video chat, depending on the location of the applicant).
Please only submit your application via our dedicated application platform and please follow the guidelines.

Application process
Application for the GSLS PhD fellowships works as follows:
1. Current status: The application platform is now open.
2. Notification for applicants about whether or not you are invited for an interview will be sent out by mid of October 2017.
3. Do not ask your referees to send letters right now. Only ask your referees AFTER a notification that you were invited for an interview AND wait for our instructions. In this way we avoid hundreds of letters that are written in vain.
4. Selected applicants from Europe (or travelling in Europe at that time) will be invited for an interview in Würzburg on 20th November 2017 (travel subsidies available). International applicants from outside Europe will be interviewed by video conferencing, 15-17th November 2017.
5. For technical questions please contact uwgs-it@uni-wuerzburg.de. All program-related questions should be addressed to gsls-info@uni-wuerzburg.de.
