March/April, see: http://www.cim-imprs.de
CiM-IMPRS is jointly run by Münster University's Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre (CiM) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine.
The programme offers interdisciplinary approaches to biomedical research with a strong emphasis on imaging. PhD projects range from the analysis of basic cellular processes to clinical translation, from the generation of mathematical models to the development of new imaging-related techniques and compounds. The programme is searching for excellent students who hold a Master's degree in Biology (or related fields), Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics.
Research areas:
Cell and molecular biology, developmental and stem cell biology, vascular biology, immunology, microbiology, neurobiology, in vivo imaging, high resolution optical imaging, biophysics, chemical biology, label chemistry, mathematical modelling, and more
Each student in the programme has an individual advisory committee, which consists of the principal doctoral adviser and additional mentors. The mentors will monitor the student's academic progress, offer guidance and support in all questions regarding the course programme and scientific work, and provide access to the available research infrastructure.
The graduate school offers a limited mandatory scientific programme and an extensive voluntary curriculum in scientific and transferable skills training.
Students must pay a semester contribution fee of 316.98 EUR per semester. This includes a "semester ticket" covering public transportation in the greater Münster area as well as the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

PhD students will receive work contracts with an annual gross salary of 25,000 to 32,000 EUR.
Master's degree or equivalent (e.g., German "Diplom"), in life sciences (e.g., biology, biochemistry, biotechnology), physics, chemistry, mathematics or a related field
(If in doubt, please enquire.)
No English language test is required. Language skills will be evaluated during personal interviews with selected candidates.

As in all popular university cities in Germany, accommodation is in high demand and is not easy to find in Münster – but it’s not impossible either!
Please contact the International Office (Bachelor's and Master's students) or the WWU Graduate Centre (doctoral candidates) for advice. Please also note that the University of Münster (like most German public universities) does not have its own student halls of residence.
We are often able to provide initial accommodation. If this is not possible, we actively help with finding accommodation.
