  • National and international candidates are welcome to apply
  • You have to apply through our online application tool which is open until 24 October, 12:00 noon CET!
  • For further information about the projects, feel free to contact the supervisor directly
  • All offered projects are financed by third-party funds of the supervisor (e.g. DFG funded)
  • The funded projects below cover most areas of natural and life sciences from Cell and Developmental Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, and Plant Sciences.
  • On the online application tool, two projects can be selected.
  • You are welcome to browse through our faculty members´research here
  • The LSM application portal will open again in September
