Projects Offered

In the vivid network of GenEvo, scientist from participating groups located at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) and the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) are researching together on the core question of how complex and multi-layered gene regulatory systems have evolved.
Every third year, we are recruiting a new cohort of 14 PhD students continuing the research on our core question. Below you find a list of recuriting group leaders and descriptions of the offered PhD projects.

If you are interested in applying to one or more of the projects below, fill out our registration form until 20 January 2022. Guidelines for registration can be found here.
The referees you list during your registration will receive a personalised link allowing them to upload their reference letter directly and confidentially. After registration, you will receive a link to the application form where you can indicate up to 5 projects that are of interest to you. The deadline for application submission is 27 January 2022. When you are invited to our interview days, you have the opportunity to modify your group preferences based on your interaction with the group leaders.
