Information for PhD Candidates

In collaboration with German universities, in particular the University of Tübingen, students with an outstanding Master's degree in the neurosciences, biomedicine, computer science, applied mathematics, statistics, AI and technical sciences can complete a doctoral thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. They benefit from a dynamic and interdisciplinary environment and excellent scientific resources.
 

Due to the localization of a number of excellent research institutions as well as educational and advanced training centers at the research site Tübingen, the PhD students get access not only to the colloquia on Max Planck Campus Tübingen, but also to additional training possibilites throughout the whole field of neurobiological, cognitive and medical research.

Direct Application

Junior researchers with a diploma or master's degree who are interested in applying for an open doctoral position can contact the relevant department or research group at the Institute, stating their interests, a description of their research project, a CV and references (diploma/master's degree).

Graduate Program in the Neurosciences

Particularly talented students can apply for admission to the doctoral program of the Graduate School of Neurosciences and receive first-class training after funding has been clarified by the Institute.
