Description :
PhD scholarships in Bioinformatics at the International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science in Saarbrücken 

The International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science (IMPRS-CS) is a graduate school jointly run by the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems and Saarland University. 

The IMPRS-CS offers a PhD program upon successful completion of which students receive a Doctoral Degree in Computer Science from Saarland University . The program is open to students who hold or are about to receive a research-oriented Master\'s degree in Computer Science (or an equivalent degree). Successful candidates will typically have ranked at or near the top of their classes, have already engaged in research and published their results, and be highly proficient in written and spoken English. 

Admitted students receive a scholarship that covers all living expenses and tuition fees. They enjoy a research-oriented education with close supervision by world-renowned scientists in a competitive, yet collaborative, environment rich in interaction with other students, post-docs, and scientists. 

As a PhD student at IMPRS in one of the Bioinformatics groups at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics you will find various research opportunities in one of the following major research directions: 

1. Computational Biology and Applied Algorithmics 2. Molecular Networks in Medical Bioinformatics 3. Computational Systems Biology 4. Computational Epigenetics 

Given that Bioinformatics is a young research area it has long tradition in Saarbrücken. Please check the Max Planck Institute’s web site as well as the web site of the Center for Bioinformatics for more computational biology research directions, contact details of our PIs, etc.: http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de and http://zbi-www.bioinf.uni-sb.de/en 

Applications are accepted all year round; the current round closes on July 31st, 2012. 

Further information, including instructions on how to apply, can be found here:http://www.imprs-cs.de 

If you have further questions regarding the PhD program, please contact Jennifer Gerling (im...@mpi-inf.mpg.de ).
