IMPRS-IEM PhD Fellowship Program for International Students in Germany, 2019

The new IMPRS-IEM PhD Fellowship Program is now available on offer for all new international students. The research carried out at IMPRS-IEM focuses on diverse questions in the fields of Immunobiology, Epigenetics, Metabolism, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, Functional Genomics.

Beginning in 2019, the International Max Planck Research School for Immunobiology, Epigenetics, and Metabolism (IMPRS-IEM) will focus on excellence in scientific training for junior researchers in the life sciences. IMPRS-IEM is the successor program to IMPRS-MCB established in 2006. The new name and program structure reflect the strengthening of the scientific research done by our faculty as a joint initiative of scientists from the University of Freiburg, the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics, and the Institute for Systems Immunology in Würzburg.

If you are not a native English speaker, a TOEFL/IELTS or similar certificate is recommended, but not obligatory. Please note that this will not be necessary if your University education has been in English.
