PhD positions in our research groups will be offered through the Dresden International Graduate School Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (DIGS-ILS), a PhD program at the TU Dresden. Some of our groups with an affiliation at MPI-CBG, offer PhD positions through the International Max Planck Research School for Cell, Developmental and Systems Biology (IMPRS-CellDevoSys). Both programs joined forces under the roof of the Dresden International PhD Program (DIPP).
