IMPRS for Organismal Biology

The "International Max Planck Research School for Organismal Biology" initiates a close collaboration between the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology at Seewiesen and Radolfzell and the Department of Biology at the University of Konstanz.

In the scope of the IMPRS for Organismal Biology Ph.D.-students will investigate important questions across disciplines in biology. An important issue is to gain a deeper understanding on the structure-function relationship of living organisms, and their development through both evolutionary and developmental processes. The fields of research cover behavioural biology, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, ecology and immunology. Animal groups that will be studied in the IMPRS for Organismal Biology include invertebrates, fish, birds and mammals.

The IMPRS for Organismal Biology offers an attractive combination of interdisciplinary lectures and courses on evolutionary biology, behavioural ecology, behavioural neurobiology, migration, ecology, immunology and immuno-ecology. The curriculum is complemented by workshops on soft skills such as career planning, proposal writing and scientific presentation.

The language of the IMPRS program is English.
