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.:
