Applicants must hold a Master degree or an equivalent degree in life science, social science or other related subjects. It is NOT necessary to hold the degree at the time of your application, but you will need it when you begin to work with us (April 1, 2026).

If you fulfil these criteria, you are eligible to apply.

Candidates who have already completed a PhD track (graduated as PhD or equivalent) are unfortunately not eligible for this program.

Please note, selected candidates will reside in Kenya (Nairobi - project supervisor Doris Njomo or Kilifi - project supervisor Francis Ndung'u). Business travel will take you about once a year to German for several days up to 3 weeks.
