Each program offers research and education opportunities in a stimulating international environment for ambitious students who wish to work towards a Ph.D. degree. Accepted students perform their research project in one of the participating research groups of their favorite program, according to their scientific interest. Advanced teaching and training courses are offered throughout the curriculum. The program language is English throughout. Ph.D. studies usually last 3-4 years.

Education: Applicants must hold or anticipate receiving a Master’s degree or equivalent from a university in a relevant field before starting the Ph.D. program.

PhD Scholarship of the Graduate School

As part of a project of the Graduate School Inter Neuroscience "will be characterized ion channels involved in the neuronal excitability and neuronal plasticity are involved. A particular focus of the investigation lies in the modulation of neuronal excitability and behavior of the neural growth through the activation of transient receptor potential (TRP)-homologous cation channels. Procedures will apply in addition to the cell culture and molecular biology in particular, electrophysiological and floureszenzoptische techniques. Practical experience in one of the above techniques are desirable but not a prerequisite. Suitable candidates should have a scientific studies have been completed successfully bring (biology, biochemistry, biophysics, physics or equivalent) and engagement in scientific work and a high motivation and teamwork. For more information please refer to the sub-project, Prof. Dr. Michael Schaefer (michael.schaefer @ medizin.uni-leipzig.de) or to the Speaker of the Graduate School, Prof. Dr. Andreas Reichenbach (reia@medizin.uni- leipzig.de).
