Programs for Graduate and Master Students

Do you study life sciences or medicine?

Are you interested in a bachelor's, master's ,  or doctoral thesis at our institute?

Then you are welcome to apply directly to our directors and research group leaders. 

You can find information on the various doctoral programs at the Göttingen Campus , in which our institute participates, here. If you have general questions regarding your application, please contact our coordinator Antje Erdmann (see contacts on the left).

All our students doing research at the institute for a thesis or doctoral thesis must be enrolled at a university at the same time. With a few exceptions, academic titles in Germany are only awarded by the nationwide universities. The institute, therefore, cooperates closely with the University of Göttingen in the IMPRS doctoral programs listed below, where our directors and research group leaders also teach and give seminars.

International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS)

Max Planck School Matter to Life

Max Planck School of Photonics

There are also programs for young scientists within the framework of further cooperations between the institute and the University of Göttingen, the Max Planck Institutes for Dynamics and Self-Organization and for Experimental Medicine as well as the German Primate Center. These include:

• the  European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen  (ENI)
• the  Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience   Göttingen  (BCCN Göttingen)
• the  Göttingen Excellence Cluster nad DFG Research Center  Nanoscale Microscopy and Molecular Physiology of the Brain (CNMPB)
