The Munich based International Max Planck Research School for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences (IMPRS-LS) covers the areas of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular medicine, neurobiology and structural biology. IMPRS-LS is jointly conducted by the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology and the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in cooperation with the Ludwig Maximilian University Munich and the Technical University Munich.
The 3 to 4 year program, entirely taught in English, provides comprehensive scientific training in a superb and vibrant research environment with state of the art facilities and cutting edge research projects.

Prospective students can choose one out of more than 55 challenging research projects offered by our faculty members. Although students specialize in a particular research topic, the interdisciplinary context of the program facilitates interactions with other research groups and fosters the ability of cross-frontier thinking. Laboratory work is supplemented by seminars, summer schools, elective courses, training in soft skills and participation in national or international conferences.

Currently, more than 250 doctoral students from all over the world are working at the Max Planck Institutes and, together with numerous doctoral students from close by university laboratories, lay ground for a lively, open and dynamic international atmosphere.

Highly qualified candidates with a deep commitment to basic and/or clinical research are invited to apply. Applicants should hold an MSc (or an equivalent degree) in biological sciences, biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology, medicine or a related discipline. Candidates with a Bachelor’s degree are invited to apply for the integrated fast track program (1+3 years).

All students accepted to the program will be supported by fellowships covering living expenses and tuition.

Candidates will be selected on a competitive basis. Deadline for application is January 15, each year; selection will be completed by March 15.
Accepted candidates may start their research projects as early as April 1.
