Structured doctoral programmes

More than 700 doctoral researchers are pursuing their doctorates on a wide range of topics in the numerous structured doctoral programmes at Leipzig University. The programmes undergo quality assurance procedures and offer doctoral researchers ideal conditions to complete their doctoral studies within a fixed structure.

Pursue Your Doctorate in a Structured Doctoral Programme

In a structured doctoral programme, you pursue your doctorate within a fixed structure (e.g. in a research group), write your dissertation on a mutually agreed upon schedule in which doctoral funding is (often) secured and are supervised by multiple university professors. From the outset, you are in close contact with other doctoral researchers and supervisors, with whom you work on joint research projects.

At Leipzig University, more than 700 doctoral researchers are pursuing their doctorates in numerous structured doctoral programmes that undergo quality assurance procedures. These programmes are diverse and tailored to meet the needs of the specific subject areas. Alongside the three institutionally funded graduate schools at Leipzig University, there are also externally funded graduate schools as well as a number of structured doctoral programmes. All of the programmes adhere to the highest quality standards for doctoral studies. These include transparent standardised selection processes, guidance from multiple supervisors, supervision agreements and skills development programmes.

Initiatives to establish or propose additional structured doctoral programmes are supported by the  vice-rector for talent development , the  Graduate Academy Leipzig  and the  Department of Research Services .

Global and Area Studies (Peace and Security in Africa)

Since October 2012, Leipzig University and the Institute for Peace and Security Studies at Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia) have offered a three-year joint interdisciplinary doctoral programme in the field of global and area studies. The programme is designed for both early career researchers and experts in globalisation and security research. It prepares them for careers in international organisations; in conflict management, prevention and resolution; and in early warning of conflicts (as well as in other areas of the emerging African Peace and Security Architecture, APSA), and as future lecturers, scientists and researchers for the rapidly developing higher education sector in Ethiopia and its neighbouring countries.

Graduate School Global and Area Studies

The Graduate School Global and Area Studies (GSGAS) would like to invite early career researchers from all over the world to participate in a project of global reach that has both an interdisciplinary and post-disciplinary approach. The Graduate School is open to excellent candidates with original contributions from regional studies, history, social sciences or international studies who are looking for a comprehensive answer to the general question of how societies across the globe respond to the dialectics of de- and re-territorialisation. Of particular interest is the persistence of long-lasting frameworks and the emergence of new spatial frameworks for social interaction within and between cultures, nations and regional clusters of states.

Graduate Group: Leipzig Transcultural Literary Studies

This graduate group explores objects of study in literary and cultural studies within the contexts of how they unite and bridge cultures. The projects in the group aim to gain literary and cultural-historical insight across languages, cultures and epochs. They consider theoretical and methodological problems, are based on transdisciplinary contexts and often arise in the context of international research collaborations. The group’s working methods are characterised by close cooperation between professors and doctoral researchers, and at the same time by a high degree of individual responsibility and initiative. In two joint colloquiums per semester, the participants discuss the methodological foundations and the progress of their doctoral projects. Regular lecture series and colloquiums led by the professors in the graduate group ensure continuity of supervision.

The dual PhD/Dr. Phil. programme  Transcultural German Studies  between Leipzig University and the University of Arizona, Tucson, is an integral part of the graduate group.

The graduate group is supported by the following professors from the Faculty of Philology:

• Professor Dieter Burdorf (German studies, spokesperson for the graduate group)
• Professor Anna Artwińska (Slavonic studies)
• Professor Uta Felten (Romance studies)
• Professor Ralf Haekel (British studies)
• Dr Leonhard Herrmann (German studies)
• Professor Jobst Welge (Romance studies)

Collège doctoral franco-allemand "Transferts culturels"

The doctoral programme ‘ Transferts culturels. Contributions à une histoire transnationale et transrégionale des mondes modernes et contemporains‘ builds on over 30 years of cooperation between the École Normale Supérieure in Paris and Leipzig University in the field of cultural transfer research. This cooperation has resulted in numerous joint academic events, the results of which have been published in the volumes of the Franco-German Cultural Library, among others. Since the 2020/21 academic year, the partners have been offering the transnational online seminar ‘Cultural Transfers’. It is dedicated to researching cultural transfers between different regions of the world and thus goes far beyond the focus on Franco-German relations. The relationship between cultural transfer research, transnational history and transregional studies will be discussed using examples from the research practice of international speakers.

Integrated Research Training Group: GPCR Activation and Signaling

The integrated research training group “Structural Dynamics of GPCR Activation and Signaling” is part of Collaborative Research Centre 1423, which focuses on how cells communicate via important receptors. The spokesperson of the research training group is Professor Daniel Huster.

Cells communicate with each other and their environment via receptors. These are located in the cell wall and recognise a specific signal, which they transmit inside the cell and thus cause the cell to react. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest group of these membrane receptors and found in almost all living organisms. GPCRs have a pivotal role in medicine: Approximately 30 per cent of all prescription drugs act via these receptors, but so far the potential of only a small group of receptors has been exploited.

The research training group has a special focus on the career development of its doctoral researchers. The doctoral programme includes scientific modules, laboratory rotations at Vanderbilt University in the United States and an annual summer school, as well as courses on professional skills such as leadership, communication and research data management.

International Max Planck Research School NeuroCom

The International Max Planck Research School on Neuroscience of Communication: Function, Structure, and Plasticity (IMPRS NeuroCom) is a graduate school based at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig. Within the structured doctoral programme, doctoral researchers are trained in the multidisciplinary field of cognitive neuroscience. The focus is on the behavioural and neural basis of communication. Clinical and developmental aspects and the corresponding brain plasticity play a major role in research.

Graduate Group: Integrated Research in Biomechanics (InteReBio)

Development, application and evaluation of methods and interactive devices to analyse the movement of humans and animals

This graduate group was established as a result of the interdisciplinary collaboration between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Sport Science at Leipzig University with the Centre for Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK). The members – doctoral researchers, postdocs and professors – are united by their shared use and further development of the existing and established broad spectrum of modern and effective methods to analyse and optimise movement in humans and animals.

The partners work on overarching issues in the context of health, performance and lifestyle / animal welfare. Biomechanical methods are used across disciplines in order to develop and evaluate interventions that demonstrate dose-response relationships. These include both active interventions for neuromuscular optimisation as well as passive interventions (i.e. devices and implants). The graduate group creates cross-faculty and cross-disciplinary structures and promotes networking among early career researchers. This provides access to comparative bioengineering of humans and animals, for example, to use animals as models for human athletes and vice versa. In terms of future prospects, the graduate group aims to develop an interdisciplinary research centre to analyse the movement of living beings.

Spokespersons for the group are as follows:  Professor Christoph Mülling  (Institute of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology at Leipzig University) Professor Maren Witt  (Faculty of Sport Science at Leipzig University) and Professor Hans-Jürgen Dobner (Centre for Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK)).

This approach views mathematics as a tool for understanding and describing scientific problems and conversely sees that scientific applications can lead to new and challenging mathematics. The scientific program offered by IMPRS MiS focuses on interdisciplinary research and training doctoral researchers. The training includes a wide range of mathematical research areas such as geometry, partial differential equations and functional analysis, stochastics, and discrete mathematics.

Leipzig Graduate School: Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation: Mineral Dust

Tropospheric particles play an important role in many scientific areas of inquiry, from assessing air quality and describing chemical processing of atmospheric gases and aerosols to analysing the formation of clouds and precipitation and predicting climate change. The associated processes are highly complex and require expertise in the fields of solid-state physics, fluid dynamics, electromagnetic field theory, meteorology, organic chemistry and heterogeneous chemistry. The aim of the Leipzig Graduate School Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation: Mineral Dust is to harness this expertise through a partnership between the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research and Leipzig University in order to be able to offer doctoral researchers an interdisciplinary training and research environment. The research in the consortium focuses on achieving a better understanding of physical and chemical processes in the area of clouds, aerosols and their radiation properties.

German-French Research Training Group: Statistical Physics of Complex Systems

The statistical physics of complex systems is a broad field that ranges from the study of quantum phenomena to the conformational behaviour of biomolecules. Such an extensive field can only be successfully comprehended by employing a variety of theoretical methods. The Research Training Group, which is jointly supervised by the Université Nancy and Leipzig University, brings together the expertise in analytical theory available in Nancy and the many years of experience in sophisticated computer-oriented simulation studies in Leipzig. Thanks to this cutting-edge research, the partnership offers a unique opportunity for early career researchers in these fields. The German and French scientists involved work closely together and as such contribute to strengthening international networks in the field. On the French side, there are binational fellowships with Ukraine and Russia that are funded by the CNRS, and on the German side the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation has an institutional partnership with Kraków (Poland) and with the EU RTN network ENRAGE, which consists of 13 European research groups.

Many chemists pursue a doctorate after graduation. The doctorate can be completed as an individual doctorate or also within the framework of a structured doctoral programme. The central service institution for the promotion of young scientists at the University of Leipzig is the Graduate Academy Leipzig . All doctoral researchers and early postdocs at Leipzig University can become members under certain conditions. This gives you full access to our services and allows you to apply for financial support.

The following interdisciplinary doctoral programmes are based at the Faculty of Chemistry and Mineralogy:

Integrated Research Training Group "HYP*MOL"

Research Training Group " Hydrogen Isotopes 1,2,3H ".

Leipzig School of Natural Sciences - Building with Molecules and Nano-objects (BuildMoNa)

Admission to the doctoral candidate list will take place exclusively via the web portal of the Doctoral and Postdoctoral Administration System (DPVS) . After registering, you will be guided through the process. The application form generated at the end must be completed, signed and submitted to the Dean's Council.

The initiation of the doctoral procedure must be applied for in the Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Administration System (DPVS) . Once the application has been submitted, various original documents must be submitted to the Dean's Office. All information on the required documents can be found here . The documents must be submitted in full to the Dean's Office approximately two weeks before the Faculty Council meeting dates. Therefore, please arrange an appointment with the Dean's Council in good time beforehand.

After the initiation of the procedure by the Faculty Council, the dissertation copies to be reviewed are usually sent to the reviewers by post within one week. The reviews should be prepared within four weeks.

After receipt of the reviews, the display is indicated. Every university teacher and post-doctoral lecturer of the faculty has the right to submit his or her vote for or against the acceptance of the dissertation in written form to the chairperson of the doctoral committee and to justify it until one week after receipt of all expert opinions. The members of the doctoral committee, all professors of the faculty as well as the applicant have the right to inspect the expert opinions including the proposed grades while preserving the anonymity of the reviewers.

The defence takes place after the dissertation has been accepted. The candidate shall be informed of the date at least two weeks before the defence and the chairperson of the doctoral committee shall announce it to the university two weeks before the date. As a rule, the date should be within a period of six weeks after acceptance of the dissertation. To arrange the date, the candidates shall contact the chairperson of the doctoral committee after receipt of the expert opinions.

The defence shall be held in public in German or English. The candidate shall publicly present the results achieved with the dissertation in a lecture of approx. 30 minutes. Subsequently, questions from the auditorium are to be answered. The discussion should relate to the dissertation and its scientific environment and should not exceed 60 minutes.

Completion of the procedure and award of the doctoral degree

The decision on the award of the doctoral degree is usually taken at the next meeting of the Faculty Council after the defence. The day of the defence shall be deemed the day of conferral.

The accepted dissertation shall be published by duplication and free transfer of the specified number of copies to the University Library  (UB) (please see the checklist here ). If applicable, a sheet explaining the errors contained in the dissertation (errata sheet) shall be included in the deposit copies. The deposit copies shall be handed over to the UB within six months after the announcement of the award decision. The deadline for delivery may be extended by the doctoral commission by a further three months upon justified application. The certificate of delivery from the UB is to be sent to the Dean's Office without delay.

In addition, the declaration of delivery of all materials is to be submitted to the Dean's Office.

The completion of the doctoral certificate takes approximately six weeks after the termination of the procedure by the Faculty Council.

PhD program - Global Studies Peace and Security in Africa

The new call for applications for our PhD Programme in Global Studies Peace and Security in Africa runs until Feb 29, 2024. More information here .

GESI and IPSS jointly offer a three-year interdisciplinary doctoral training programme in the field of Global and Area Studies (with a special emphasis on peace and security in Africa).

The programme trains junior researchers and professionals in globalisation research. It qualifies them for employment, among others, in international organizations, in the field of conflict management, prevention and resolution and early warning (as well as other areas of the emerging African peace and security architecture). Our students qualify also as future lecturers, scholars and researchers for the rapidly expanding higher education sector in Ethiopia and its neighbouring countries; enabling these future elites to “think globally”.

Area Studies – as the study of particular cultural, national or geographic regions – refers to interdisciplinary research fields, which draw on a variety of methods and academic perspectives, ranging from established disciplines such as History, Political Science, Sociology, Political Economy and Cultural Sciences to newly emerging subdisciplines as, for instance, New Political Geography and Global History. By analyzing the implications globalization processes have on different world regions, Global Studies are strongly linked to Area Studies. Global and Area Studies – as a combination of social and cultural as well as historical approaches to the study of modern and contemporary globalisation processes and the comparison of world regions – offer the scientific basis of this PhD programme to develop an understanding for the dynamics of peace and security in Africa.

Since Africa is faced with global challenges in particular ways, the study programme intends to pay special attention to regional perspectives on globalisation processes and – in light of the continent’s specific contemporary challenges – to the multifaceted aspects of peace and security in Africa.
