The International Max Planck Research School on Cellular Biophysics (IMPRS-CBP) invites excellent graduate students in life sciences to apply for

Fully Funded PhD Positions

The IMPRS-CBP is an international doctoral training program hosted by the Max Planck Institute of Bio­physics, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and Frank­furt Institute of Advanced Studies.

Our mission is to train graduate students to tackle one of the ultimate biological challenges: to gain a complete molecular-level understanding of the cell and its functions.

• A wide range of state-of-the-art techniques in biophysics, e.g. cryo-electron microscopy, 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 ~30 inter­nationally renowned PIs from the parti­cipating institutions
• An attractive living environment with the Rhine-Main region around Frank­furt am Main being an inter­national scientific, financial, and cultural hub
• A strong community of PhD students jointly attending graduate courses
• An innovative teaching concept with professional and transferable skills workshops
