Your Career at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry
Martinsried / Munich – Germany

PostDocs – PhD / Master Students

The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB – http://www.biochem.mpg.de) is a world-leading institute for basic biomedical research. The Institute houses state-of-the-art facilities and offers an outstanding environment for conducting cutting-edge research. The Institute has a lively and highly international atmosphere and offers exceptional opportunities for scientists at their early stage of career. Graduate programs and programs for postdoctoral training are complemented by advanced method courses, dedicated lectures, and are supported by an International Office.

The MPIB is embedded in a thriving campus with firm links to two internationally renowned universities, the Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) and the Technical University Munich (TUM), from which Master and PhD students can obtain their degrees.

The International Max Planck Research School for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences (IMPRS; http://www.imprs-ls.de), a collaborative graduate school of three Max Planck Institutes (Biochemistry, Neurobiology, Psychiatry) and two universities (LMU, TUM) of the Munich area, selects international graduate students once per year. In addition, young scientists (postdocs, Master/ PhD students) who are interested in a career at the MPIB are encouraged to apply directly to the individual groups listed below.
