Connectionists: International Max Planck Research School for Brain and Behavior

[Jakob Macke]

Fully-funded PhD Positions in Neuroscience at International Max Planck Research School for Brain and Behavior
Application Deadline: December 1, 2016

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Brain and Behavior research programs address how sensory information is encoded in neural circuits and is transformed ultimately to behavior. This research ranges from understanding molecular signaling cascades in spines during learning to understanding how sensory and motor circuits are activated in the awake behaving animal.

The IMPRS for Brain and Behavior is the first IMPRS to unite Max Planck Institutes on both sides of the Atlantic, and their university partners:  research center caesar, an associate of the Max Planck Society and University of Bonn in Germany - Max Planck Florida Institute of Neuroscience and Florida Atlantic University  in the United States. This transatlantic partnership maximizes the benefits for students in the program by having them directly involved in the outstanding research programs established at the two Max Planck Society run institutes and their partner universities.

The International Max Planck Research School for Brain and Behavior offers a structured, 3-year multidisciplinary doctoral training and research program in the neurosciences. Our students can earn either a PhD or Dr. rer. nat. degree.  Our mission is to equip students graduating from this school with an exceptional level of knowledge and skills that will form the basis of a successful career in neuroscience. The curriculum comprises of both theoretical and hands-on training in advanced neuroscience techniques. Students take courses and attend scientific symposia at the partner institutions in Bonn, Germany and Florida, USA, with expenses covered­ thereby exposing students to an exceptionally broad group of international scientists.

IMPRS for Brain and Behavior aims to recruit highly qualified and motivated doctoral students from all nationalities and immerse them in a stimulating scientific culture of interaction and cooperation. Exceptional candidates holding a Master's degree in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer science, engineering, or other relevant subject are encouraged to join us.  Application deadline is December 1.  For further information please contact: Denise Butler, Coordinator, phone: +49(0)228 / 9656-318, imprs.info at caesar.de<mailto:imprs.info at caesar.de>.
