Visiting Faculty

The Center for Systems Biology Dresden caters to a global community in the area of its research mission. We wish to be a place where colleagues and students from around the world meet and develop a supportive international network. Therefore, the CSBD continuously offers funded opportunities for visitors and guests at all levels.

With the ELBE Visiting Faculty Program, the CSBD also runs a guest/sabbaticals program. Junior and Senior Faculty working in the area of the Center’s mission can join us for a duration of up to three months. During their stay at CSBD, visiting faculty closely interact with the research groups at the CSBD and the two Max Planck Institutes. If desired, they may also contribute to teaching. Applications for visiting faculty are accepted continuously and evaluated roughly every two months by the Center’s scientific committee. You can submit your documents here. 

Applications should at least include a CV, publication list, and a letter of motivation detailing the connection to CSBD and its research groups, and the work intended to be done during the visit, as well as details of the requested financial support. Financial support is provided upon agreement and by request of the visitor. 

For visits in 2027, applications received before the end of November 2026 will be considered preferentially.
