The University of Freiburg, in collaboration with the International Max Planck Research School for Epigenetics, Biophysics and Metabolism (IMPRS-EBM), is offering an open PhD position in the lab of Professor Jűrgen Kleine-Vehn. The research focuses on understanding how plants grow, with an emphasis on signalling and developmental mechanisms, spanning from molecular to organ-level processes. The IMPRS-EBM program is hosted at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics and provides a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment for advanced research in plant biology, epigenetics, biophysics, and metabolism.

Applicants should have a strong background in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or related fields, and demonstrate motivation for research in plant signalling and development. The program is highly competitive and typically requires a relevant Master's degree, proficiency in English, and submission of academic transcripts, CV, and recommendation letters. The position is fully funded through the IMPRS (Max Planck) program, offering a competitive stipend and potentially covering tuition and research expenses.

To apply, candidates must register and submit their application via the IMPRS-EBM online portal. The application process involves creating an account and uploading all required documents as specified on the program website.
