We are pleased to announce that the new application cycle of the International Max Planck Research School on Cellular Biophysics (IMPRS-CBP) is now open! We are looking for excellent students in natural sciences to apply for fully funded PhD positions in Frankfurt and Mainz, Germany.

 
IMPRS-CBP is a doctoral training program jointly hosted by the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies. Our mission is to train graduate students to tackle one of the ultimate biological challenges: gain an atomic- and molecular-level understanding of the cell and its functions.
 
We offer:

  •   A wide range of state-of-the-art techniques in biophysics, e.g. cryoEM, NMR, mass spectrometry, high-resolution light microscopy, and large-scale computing
  •   An interdisciplinary research environment connecting biological sciences (structural biology, cell biology, neurobiology, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, computational biology) with physics, mathematics, and chemistry 
  •   Excellent working conditions with fully funded PhD positions and assistance in all organizational matters
  •   An outstanding supervision concept with multiple experienced and engaged supervisors
  •   The opportunity to build lasting networks in a collaborative research environment with ~40 internationally renowned PIs from the participating institutions
  •   An attractive living environment with the Rhine-Main region around Frankfurt/Mainz being an international scientific, financial, and cultural hub in Germany 
  •   A strong community of PhD students jointly attending graduate courses
  •   An innovative teaching concept with professional and transferable skills workshops 
 
We are excited to welcome a new cohort of talented individuals to our program and look forward to receiving their applications until February 7, 2025. For more information on our program and our faculty, please visit our website, or follow us on LinkedIn, BSky and Instagram!
