For graduate students working in the laboratories of iGE3 faculty members.

We are happy to announce the 11th round of the iGE3 PhD Salary Awards. As in the past years these stipends will be given competitively to graduate students working in the laboratories of iGE3 members, for projects with a strong genetics or genomics component.

The graduate students have to be in the 2nd or 3rd year of their studies (on December 1, 2023), and the salary awards will be provided for 2 years, non-renewable. The final selection will be made by an external (non-UNIGE) advisory board. The stipends should be acknowledged in publications as iGE3 PhD Student Awards.

Please note:

  • one application per laboratory will be accepted per call;
