Overview
At the Weizmann Institute, the breadth of research collaborations and an international student body combine to create an unusual atmosphere ─ and a profile that rivals that of any leading research institution in the world.
As a PhD student at the Weizmann Institute, you will be joining a highly diverse community of intelligent and committed scientists from many countries, working directly with research groups at the forefront of their fields internationally.
The Institute’s exceptional staff and facilities provide a powerful foundation for your professional future, whether you aim to join the next generation of academic researchers and teachers, or to build a successful career in other fields.
Every PhD student must belong to a research group. The Head of that research group is appointed as your advisor. It is possible to appoint two advisors. Switching to another research group requires approval by the Board of Studies and the Dean of Feinberg Graduate School.
