About this position
The International Max Planck Research School for Brain and Behaviour is a fully funded doctoral programme in neuroscience based in Bonn, Germany, and delivered in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar, the University of Bonn, and the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE).
The programme focuses on neuroethology and on understanding how brain circuits function from molecules to animal behaviour. Students are immersed in an international research environment that combines advanced imaging and optogenetic approaches with broad training in fundamental neuroscience.
IMPRS for Brain and Behaviour brings together 18 laboratories with a wide range of projects. Doctoral researchers can undertake lab rotations during the first six months of the PhD and will work across diverse topics related to how sensory information is encoded in neural circuits and translated into behaviour.
The research and training environment is structured and multidisciplinary, with theoretical teaching, hands-on experience in cutting-edge methods, and support from a Thesis Advisory Committee. The programme is embedded in a strong network across MPINB, the University of Bonn, and DZNE, offering a rich setting for doctoral research and professional development.
