Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Doctoral Programs

Doctoral programs at KIZ run from 3-4 years, and lead to a Ph.D., in four major fields: Zoology, Neurobiology, Genetics, and Cell Biology. Within these fields, KIZ has more than 30 doctoral supervisors, most of which have substantial international research experience, strong publication records, and good placement of students.

Students interested in pursuing their doctoral education with a particular research group should first contact the relevant Principal Investigator leading the group and then speak with the Academic Advisor, Mr. Gan Hongxie, via kizphd@mail.kiz.ac.cn, who will help guide students through the admission process.

Details about each Principal Investigator and his/her research focus can be found by visiting the following website.http://sourcedb.kiz.cas.cn/yw/zjrc/sc/
