PhD candidate positions in Organismal Biology at International Max Planck Research School for Organismal Biology

The International Max Planck Research School for Organismal Biology (IMPRS), a joint cooperation between the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Seewiesen, the newly founded Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior with two research sites in Radolfzell and Konstanz, and the Department of Biology at the University of Konstanz, are seeking doctoral candidates (f/m/d). For 2020, the IMPRS announces various fully-funded doctoral projects (3 years) focusing on collective behavior, ecology, neuroethology, social structure, using quantitative analysis and virtual reality to name but a few of the exciting techniques used to answer research questions in the field of Organismal Biology (see http://www.orn.mpg.de/projects)!

Field of work

The aim of the IMPRS is to provide first-class training and education for outstanding doctoral students from all over the world in a stimulating research environment. More than 40 scientists work on a variety of topics from animal migration, collective behavior, computational ecology, evolutionary genetics, neurobiology, sensory systems, social interactions and other related fields. Research includes lab and field work using different model organisms from plants, insects, fish, birds and mammals, as well as diverse techniques from animal tracking, large scale data analysis, molecular genetic analyses, optical imaging or social network analysis.
