International Ph.D. Program: Physics of Biological and Complex Systems
(Code Number: career.edu-14-08)
The International Max-Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Physics of Biological and Complex Systems is a newly-founded Ph.D. program. It involves close interdisciplinary collaboration between 25 renowned research groups of the University of Göttingen, the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-organization. Göttingen is a national region of excellence in the life sciences. The program is dedicated to the elucidation of primary functions of living systems.
The courses will train and bring together students from different areas of research, including biomolecular dynamics, function, and design, nano-imaging and biophotonics, computational biophysics and simulation, molecular motors, biological membranes, molecular aggregates, and single molecule spectroscopy, liquid and solid state NMR, EPR, biomolecular and time-resolved X-ray crystallography, X-ray optics, electron microscopy, cytoskeletal structure and dynamics, microfluidics, complex fluids, soft matter, self-organization and cooperative phenomena in complex systems and large networks, biochemical networks, synaptic transmission, computational neuroscience, and artificial neural networks.
Open for students from all world-wide, the program attracts highly-qualified and motivated young scientists which aim for a doctoral degree in physics, chemistry, or biology. It offers dedicated teaching programs, high quality research experience, outstanding research facilities, and generous financial support, thus providing a unique and inspiring environment. The Ph.D. program belongs to the Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB).
All courses are in English. Each Ph.D. candidate receives individual counseling and is guided in his/her thesis work by a thesis committee of three faculty members. All participants are expected to complete their degree within three years. We invite applications for
Ph.D. Fellowships
Candidates holding a Masters degree in physics, chemistry, or biology and an excellent academic record may apply by 30 June 2008. Women and members of underrepresented minority groups are especially encouraged to apply.
