About

Are you thinking of doing your PhD in Molecular Biology? The International PhD Programme (IPP) on â€œEpigenetics, Gene Regulation & Genome Stabilityâ€ is offering talented, young scientists the chance to work at the cutting edge of research. The IPP has a community of exceptional scientists working on diverse topics. These topics range from how organisms age or how our DNA is repaired to how epigenetics regulates cellular identity or neural memory. No matter where your PhD project takes you, there will always be someone to go to for advice or collaborations. As part of the IPP, you will be given advanced training, covering skills needed for both research and industry. Access to our state-of-the-art facilities and our faculties' technical expertise ensures that you are supported no matter how challenging or expansive your project becomes. Importantly, as an IPP student, you are offered a fully funded position with financing until the completion of your thesis. To help you integrate and settle in Mainz, IPP students organise and run a lively social programme with activities to suit everyone. The IPP is coordinated by the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) â€”a modern research centre located on the bustling campus of Mainz University in Germany. The IPP currently has 150 energetic students from 40 countries working on innovative research at IMB, Mainz University and its university medical centre. Are you an ambitious, young scientist looking to push the boundaries of science while interacting with colleagues from multiple disciplines and cultures? Then the IPP is your opportunity to give your scientific career a flying start!
