Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Max Planck Society, Munich, Germany invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The IMPRS-LM brings together scientists with different backgrounds to investigate one of the most fundamental questions in biology: how do cells turn complex biochemical signals into meaningful responses? Cells must respond to a vast array of stimuli, but how do they build these responses, how do macromolecular complexes operate to determining cellular behaviour? By understanding these complex processes at a molecular level, we can gain insights into the intricate mechanisms that govern life itself.
Application Deadline: April 3rd 2025
2. 05 Fully Funded PhD Position in Molecular and Chemical Ecology and Evolution
Summary of PhD Program:
The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) “Chemical Communication in Ecological Systems” in Jena, Germany, invites applications for 5 PhD positions beginning in September 2025 – January 2026. The overarching research topic is the use of molecular, chemical and neurobiological techniques to experimentally explore ecological interactions under natural conditions. The main focus is on the relationship between plants, microbes and herbivores, and their environment, as well as the evolutionary and behavioral consequences of these interactions. We offer 8 exciting projects focusing on different organisms and approaches.

3. 05 Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The International Max Planck Research School for Elementary Processes in Physical Chemistry (IMPRS-EPPC) at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society offers 5 PhD Positions in Physical Chemistry. The Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) in Berlin-Dahlem is one of the oldest and renowned research institutes within the Max Planck Society (MPG), Germany’s most successful scientific organization for fundamental research. At the FHI, researchers from all over the world are engaged in basic research in the field of chemical physics at interfaces and surfaces, catalysis research and molecular physics.
Application Deadline: April 30, 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evolution of Polygenic Traits
Summary of PhD Program:
The genetic architecture of quantitative traits identified by QTL and GWA studies includes all contributing alleles and their effect sizes. However‚ only a subset of the underlying alleles respond to selection; these alleles constitute the adaptive architecture (1). Factors such as distance to the new trait optimum‚ initial allele frequencies‚ and pleiotropy determine which alleles are potentially adaptive. The aim of this doctoral project is to compare the genetic and adaptive architectures of a polygenic trait‚ female body size in Drosophila simulans. We will determine the genetic architecture of female body size using GWAS.

5. 03 Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational protein design
Summary of PhD Program:
The global energy crisis calls for sustainable solutions to harness solar energy. The Bunzel group combines computational protein design and directed evolution to develop enzymes for solar-energy conversion (e.g., Bunzel et al., bioRxiv 2022). Building on this initial success, PhD positions I & II will focus on equipping natural redox enzymes with photocatalytic activity, creating new enzymes for solar-driven carbon capture and nitrogen fixation.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
6. 16 Fully Funded PhD Position in Imaging Cellular Processes and Disease
Summary of PhD Program:
The joint CiM-IMPRS graduate program of the International Max Planck Research School – Molecular Biomedicine and Münster’s Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre offers 16 positions to pursue PhD projects in the areas of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or computer science. We are looking for young scientists with a vivid interest in interdisciplinary projects to image cell dynamics from the subcellular to the patient level. PhD projects range from the analysis of basic cellular processes to clinical translation, from the application of novel biophysical approaches and the generation of mathematical models to the development of new imaging-related techniques and compounds.
Application Deadline: 9 May 2025
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Synthetic Biology and Bioinformatics
Summary of PhD Program:
The project focuses on the investigation of bottom-up synthetic bacteriophage-like virions as a technology to treat multidrug-resistant bacteria. Potential working areas of the candidates can include microbiological work with bacteria and bacteriophages, protein purification, protein design and engineering and bioinformatic and AI-based approaches towards bacteriophage therapy.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Evolutionary Developmental Biologist
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking an evolutionary and/or developmental biologist with a solid empirical background and methodological skillset and a keen interest in addressing fundamental questions in contemporary Evo-Devo. You will collaborate with an international team of experimental and computational biologists to explore the evolution of craniofacial development. The body compartment that has acquired the highest degree of morphological diversity in vertebrates is the head and particularly the face. Today’’s spectrum of vertebrate craniofacial shapes reflects evolutionary adaptations to the environment, the development of distinct feeding strategies, communication, and other specialized functions.
