Doctoral Positions
Doctoral candidates and their research projects will start in second half of 2022, between June and December.
Our research
Plants and their seeds are vital for human nutrition. We study the genetic, developmental, and physiological processes of plant growth and reproduction, and seek to understand how plants integrate environmental factors such as light, temperature, and availability of water and nutrients to ensure their survival, biomass acquisition and seed formation. We work with various plant species, and follow an interdisciplinary and systems-oriented approach, combining molecular biology, genetics, genomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, biochemistry, biophysics and microscopy with bioinformatics and modelling.
Our offer
Research is at the core of our doctoral programme. We offer excellent, state-of-the-art research facilities and interdisciplinary training in an international environment, with English as working language. Our doctoral students are supervised by our IMPRS faculty, and pursue research projects in their groups. They receive further guidance from an advisory committee. Positions are fully funded for 3 years, with possibility of extension, and include health insurance and social benefits.
Your profile
You are a highly qualified and motivated candidate who would like to tackle fundamental questions in plant biology using experimental and/or computational approaches. You have a strong academic track record and hold or are about to obtain an MSc or equivalent degree in biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemistry, physics, (applied) mathematics, or related field. We value diversity and welcome applications from students of all nationalities.
