We would like to announce the extension of the deadline for applications
to the four PhD fellowships in Molecular and Chemical Ecology from the
International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) "The exploration of
Ecological Interactions with Molecular and Chemical Techniques". The new
deadline for applications is 12 pm (midnight CEST) on September 11.
The IMPRS "The Exploration of Ecological Interactions with Molecular and
Chemical Techniques" in Jena, Germany, invites applications for 4 PhD
fellowships beginning in January 2016. The overarching research topic is
the use of molecular, chemical and neuroethological techniques to
experimentally explore ecological interactions under natural conditions.
The main focus is on the relationship between plants, microbes and
herbivores, and their environment, as well as the evolutionary and
behavioral consequences of these interactions.
We offer 10 exciting projects focusing on different organisms and
approaches. The complete list of projects offered including project
descriptions is available on our website. We are looking for
enthusiastic PhD students with strong interests in the above-described
central topic. Applicants should have a firm background in one of the
following fields: ecology, bioinformatics, analytical chemistry,
entomology, neurobiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, plant
physiology and genetics. All our projects are highly integrative and
require willingness to closely collaborate with researchers of different
backgrounds.
The Research School is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute
for Chemical Ecology, Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, the Leibniz
Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, and the
Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research. We offer
state-of-the art equipment, an excellent research environment,
supervision by a thesis committee and a structured training program
including scientific courses, training in transferable skills and
internal conferences. Successful candidates will receive an IMPRS
fellowship. There are no tuition fees and the working language is English.
Application deadline is September 11, 2015.
