EURSalary Outlook
Salary Outlook
Typical range
The stated annual salary (e.g., TV-L E13: €50,000–€65,000 for 100%) refers to a full-time position. In practice, many universities and public research institutes (such as Leibniz institutes) offer part-time contracts, commonly 50%, 65%, or 75%, and only occasionally 100%. The actual salary is therefore proportional to the contract percentage. Applicants are strongly advised to clarify the employment percentage before accepting an offer.
Fresher, mid-level, and experienced ranges are linked to external sources so they stay auditable for applicants.

REQRequirements
Requirements
Academic Admission
Applicants for the PhD programme must have successfully completed a university degree in veterinary medicine, medicine, dental medicine (state examination or Master's degree), biology, biochemistry, chemistry or in another field of the natural sciences (diploma, Master's degree). A corresponding degree from a non-German university in the above fields can be recognised by the PhD Commission as equivalent to a German degree. Successful completion of the first part of a Master's programme at one of the member establishments of the ZSN in Hannover can also be recognised by the PhD Commission as qualification for admittance to the programme if the student has shown outstanding performance in this part of the course and has been recommended by the Master's programme commission in question. All applicants must provide evidence of outstanding academic achievement. The curriculum vitae must indicate the applicant's exceptional ability and motivation. The PhD Commission determines applicants' suitability for admission.
