PhD projects offered - IPP Summer call now closed!
The IPP offers projects from participating groups located at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) and the University Medical Center Mainz (UMC). Projects are advertised under two calls – a Molecular Mechanisms call and a Molecular Biomedicine call. The IPP summer call for applications is now closed! The next winter call will open around September.
Below you can find a list of group leaders offering a position in the Summer calls and descriptions of the offered PhD projects. Note that not every group participating in the IPP offers a position in every call. Projects for the next winter call will be posted in September!
