If you want to join BIF-IGS, first step would be to apply at one of our member institutes that advertise one (or more) open positions.
Once you are employed as a Doctoral Researcher (DR) at a KIT institute, talk to your PI.
Tell them that BIF-IGS is absolutely cool, one of the best Graduate Schools at KIT, and that you simply have to enroll yourself there.
Once your PI agrees with your plan, send an email to Sikha (she´s the BIF-IGS manager), telling her that you would like to join BIF-IGS.
She will arrange for everything.
