The Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) at LMU Munich warmly welcome applications for several PhD scholarships in Neurophilosophy. International students are eligible to apply for this scholarship.

The GSN is the teaching entity for the Munich Center for Neurosciences – Brain & Mind (MCN), offering an integrated program of study which takes students from their bachelor to a master or doctoral degree.

English is the Lingua franca of the program, and thus a good command of English is required for participation.


Application Deadline: February 15, 2018


Course Level: Scholarships are available to pursue Ph.D. programme.
Study Subject: Scholarships are awarded in Neurophilosophy. Projects in the research centre fall in the following areas:
Philosophy of cognitive neuroscience (explanation, reduction)
Philosophy and cognitive science of agency (mental causation, free will, moral psychology, abilities)
Philosophy and cognitive science of reasoning (e.g. deductive and non-deductive reasoning, logic and neural networks, decision making)
Ethics of neuroscience (research ethics, enhancement)
Philosophy of perception
Scholarship Award: Since the 2013 winter semester, students of Bavarian universities are no longer charged tuition fees.
In general, PhD students receive funding from their supervising research group. Additionally, the GSN currently supports a small number of PhD projects, specifically in neurophilosoph.


Students admitted to the PhD Fast-Track program receive during their first preparatory year a monthly stipend (€800) from the GSN. After successful completion of the preparatory year, fast-track students enter the PhD phase of the program and usually receive funding by their supervising research group.
Currently, MSc students do not receive funding. However, various scholarship programs can be accessed, such as those offered by DAAD. In addition, master students have the possibility to take on labour research assistant positions.


Nationality: International students
Number of Scholarships: Numbers not given.
Scholarship can be taken in Germany
