International Max Planck Research School
IMPRS “From Molecules to Organisms” in Tuebingen, Germany

PhD scholarships in the life sciences starting September 2015

The special feature of our 3-year PhD program is its emphasis on interdisciplinary interactions. We want to train the next generation of scientists to study complex biological processes that cannot be adequately understood within the limits of a single discipline. Traditionally separate fields covered include:

• Biophysics
• Structural, molecular and cellular biology
• Biochemistry and genetics
• Bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics
• Evolutionary biology

Training is offered in a range of core and specialised skills; a thesis advisory committee provides individual project guidance. English is the language of the school; places are fully funded.

The Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology runs the program in conjunction with the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory and the Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen.
