International Ph.D. Program: Physics of Biological and Complex Systems
(Code Number 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 Gttingen, the Max Planck Institute
for Biophysical Chemistry, and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and
Self-organization. Gttingen 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 Gttingen 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.
