The IPP offers a wide range of research topics in the 49 participating groups located at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) and the University Medical Center Mainz (UMC) but not every group participating in the IPP offers a position in every call. Below you find a list of group leaders offering a position in the IPP summer call 2021 and descriptions of the offered PhD projects. Be aware that projects may appear several times if they fit into different research topics.

We have an increasing focus on the emerging topic of healthy ageing and you will find that some projects in this call are offered within the “Science of Healthy Ageing Research Programme” (SHARP). SHARP is a newly established research initiative between IMB, Johannes Gutenberg-University (JGU) and JGU’s University Medical Centre (UMC) to combine clinical and basic research to promote strategies towards healthy ageing, thereby further enforcing healthy ageing as a research focus in Mainz.

If you are interested in applying to one or more of the projects below, fill out our registration form until 3 May 2021. Guidelines for registration can be found here.

When you are invited to our interview days, you have the opportunity to modify your group preferences based on your interaction with the group leaders.
