Graduate School for Health Sciences (GHS)

The Graduate School for Health Sciences (GHS) offers research-oriented curricula on psychological and physiological factors that determine the health of individuals and groups in their social contexts and physical environments. The GHS is an interdisciplinary program jointly organized by the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Human Sciences and offers research PhD programs, addressing questions rooted in both basic research and applied fields. The extensive pool of academic experts and resources enables the GHS students to develop into highly qualified researchers or professionals ready to use their knowledge and skills in complex subjects in their chosen area. Depending on the field of research, the candidates are assigned to one of the three expert committees with the following fields of expertise:

Preventive and Social Medicine, Public Health, Medical Education, Psychology, Rehabilitation & Clinical Research
Neurosciences
Clinical Sciences: clinical career & patient-oriented research (50:50 model)

Young Swiss Society for Neuroscience

The event will take place on Zoom, on June 25th, from 2 pm to 6 pm

We intend to host three early-stage group leaders across Switzerland to give their insights on the science that is currently undertaken in their lab, the path that they took to get here, and their view of the future of their field of research as well as their career. We hope to use their perspective and experiences as a potential guide for young neuroscientists that may wish to proceed further in academia.
