PhD projects offered - IPP Winter call
The IPP offers projects from participating groups located at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) and the University Medical Center Mainz (UMC). Projects are advertised under two calls – a Molecular Mechanisms call and a Molecular Biomedicine call.
Below you can find a list of group leaders offering a position in the Winter calls and descriptions of the offered PhD projects. Note that not every group participating in the IPP offers a position in every call.
The winter call 2025/2026 is now closed! Projects for the summer call 2026 will be updated in Spring 2026!
