Information for applicants in response to the novel coronavirus

In order to reduce the impact and spread of the novel coronavirus EMBL has taken the difficult decision to close its six sites in Barcelona, Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Hinxton and Rome from 18 March. Sites will remain closed until further notice, and EMBL management will keep the situation under constant review. For further information please refer to the following page: https://news.embl.de/lab-matters/corona-updates/

The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted individuals and organisations worldwide at different levels. To give equal opportunities to all applicants, the deadlines for the EMBL PhD Summer Recruitment 2020 have been extended by 2 additional weeks:
-    Application deadline: 19th of April

Our aim is to continue with the PhD Summer Recruitment as planned. Any changes in the evaluation/interview procedure (including the possibility of holding the interviews by video-conferencing) that may be required due to future developments will be communicated to invitees in a timely manner.
