Doctoral Scholarship (Doctoral Fellowships) of the Dr. Hilmer Foundation for the Promotion of Research in the Pharmaceutical Field

The Dr. Hilmer Foundation for the Promotion of Research in the Pharmaceutical Field awards doctoral scholarships every two years to sustainably strengthen young scientists in the field of pharmacy. Eligible to apply are doctoral candidates at German universities or research institutions with verified admission to doctoral studies and a supervision commitment from the supervising professors. Outstanding achievements in pharmaceutical or natural sciences studies as well as a convincing project description of the dissertation proposal form the basis for selection.

The monthly scholarship serves to cover living expenses and enables the supported early-career researchers to fully concentrate on their dissertation. Selection is based on established criteria: scientific quality and innovation of the exposé, relevance to pharmaceutical research, previous publications, as well as personal suitability in conjunction with letters of recommendation. Submission of the application requires a completed application form, a detailed exposé, curriculum vitae, academic transcripts, and the supervision commitment. Interested doctoral candidates can submit their complete application documents for the 2025 scholarship program in due time according to the official call and application template.
