[Arabidopsis] doctoral fellowships IMPRS-PMPG

[Isabell Witt]

The International Max Planck Research School in Primary Metabolism and
Plant Growth (IMPRS-PMPG) offers
six doctoral fellowships
starting summer 2008

We are seeking students who are highly motivated to tackle scientific problems in modern plant biology. We offer cutting-edge interdisciplinary training spanning genetics, genomics, physiology, high-end analytical techniques, and bioinformatics. Doctoral studies will focus on systems-oriented approaches using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana with an emphasis on molecular phenotyping ('omics') technologies, data integration, and modelling. Individual career development plans will be configured with the students.
The IMPRS-PMPG, a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology and the University of Potsdam, has a vibrant faculty, strong research groups, and more than 120 doctoral students. The entire programme is in English and no tuition fees apply.

The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology is one of the largest plant research centres in Europe. Three Max Planck Institutes, two Fraunhofer Institutes, the University of Potsdam, and a new centre for start-up companies provide an excellent infrastructure for modern cross-disciplinary training. The campus is located in close proximity to the many research and educational facilities in Berlin. Further information about the institute can be found at: www.mpimp-golm.mpg.de<http://www.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/>.

Applications will be accepted until February 29, 2008
