The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Genome Science is looking for PhD Students (f/m/d).
The IMPRS for Genome Science is a graduate program established as a cooperation between the University of Göttingen and several other research institutions at the Göttingen Campus, including the Max Planck Institutes.
Our research school aims at qualifying young scientists at the interface between experimental and theoretical disciplines in genome science. The students will be able to work in different fields of research, including experimental disciplines like genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioimaging as well as theoretical disciplines such as stochastics, bioinformatics, theoretical physics, and computational biology. Positions offered are to pursue Ph.D. projects in the areas of the life and computational sciences or related fields.
Requirements
Candidates typically hold an outstanding Master’s (or equivalent) degree in the experimental life sciences (wet lab) or computational/mathematical/biophysical sciences, and have an interest in interdisciplinary projects.
Criteria for admission include academic skills and experience, motivation and commitment, communication skills, knowledge of the English language, and creativity.
Application process
Applications can only be submitted online until January 14, 2025 via the IMPRS website.
Applicants have to upload pdf-files of their CV and academic records. They will be asked to provide contact information from two referees familiar with the work of the applicant.
