10 PhD Positions, Institute of Molecular Biology, Germany (2018)

The International PhD Programme on Gene Regulation, Epigenetics & Genome Stability (IPP) in Mainz invites you to apply for PhD positions in our groups at Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Mainz University and its University Medical Center. The IPP gives talented and enthusiastic students the opportunity to undertake PhD research at the cutting edge of modern biology. Projects within the IPP address key questions related to the overarching theme of Gene Regulation, Epigenetics & Genome Stability.

Our PhD positions are open for students from all over the world. They come along with the opportunity to participate in state-of-the-art scientific and soft skills training. Depending on the topic also applications of physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists with interdisciplinary interests and experiences are welcome.

Up to 10 fully funded positions can be filled in the fields of:

- Genome stability & DNA repair
- Epigenetics & Gene regulation
- Computational biology & omics
- Biophysics & Microscopy

Our groups cover a broad range of expertise in biochemistry, genetics, cell and developmental biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, and applied physics. The fields we study range from embryonic development, ageing and disease to analysis of high-throughput datasets, modeling of regulatory gene networks and the development of ground breaking super-resolution microscopes. This range of expertise and the open and vibrant atmosphere within the IPP encourages multidisciplinary collaborations and innovative research. Moreover, a range of scientific and social events are organised to ensure high levels of exchange and collaboration between the participating groups.
