"The molecular basis of plant development and environmental interactions"
5 Ph. D. Studentships
The Max-Planck-Institut e for Plant Breeding Research together with the University of Cologne, the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry (Poznan, Poland), the Institute for Plant Sciences (Gif sur Yvette, France) and the Biological Research Centre (Szeged, Hungary) invite applications for Ph.D. fellowships as part of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) in Cologne (Germany).
The IMPRS is intended for highly motivated students with a strong training in molecular sciences. The constellation of participating institutions provides excellent conditions and expertise in plant genetics and biochemistry, structural biology/biochemistr y, cell biology, and molecular microbiology. The training includes regular seminars, supervision of a thesis committee of the research school, soft skill courses, practical courses on e.g. reverse genetics, non-invasive imaging, 3-D-structural analysis of proteins, bioinformatics, and novel mass spectrometry- based protein biochemistry at the participating institutions. The program is taught in English and open to students from all countries holding a Master's degree or a Diploma.
For detailed information about the application process and the Ph.D. program please visit the IMPRS homepage at www.mpiz-koeln. mpg.de/english/ studentInformati on/index. html. Deadline for applications is April 30, 2008.
The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. We, thus, encourage female scientists to apply for the program. The fellowship application should be mailed to:
