The International Max Planck Research School on the Life Course (LIFE) seeks applicants for up to 3 three-year Doctoral Fellowships (m/f/d).
The International Max Planck Research School on the Life Course (LIFE) is a joint international PhD Program of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, and the University of Zurich. The goal of the Research School is the study of the development of human behavior from infancy to old age. LIFE takes an integrative and interdisciplinary approach to identifying, understanding, and possibly ameliorating the mechanisms and conditions that shape the human life course.
The target groups of the Research School are international post-master's graduate students who intend to pursue a doctorate in one of the relevant disciplines (biology, computer science, economics, educational science, neuroscience, psychology, sociology). As a collaborative Research School, LIFE offers unique training in the dynamics of human behavior on different time scales and includes opportunities for research abroad at one of the cooperating institutions. The training program involves seminars, a series of academies, and collaborative supervision of research training. Detailed information, including the roster of faculty at the various institutions, can be found at www.imprs-life.mpg.de
The advertised fellowships will all be located at the three collaborating institutions in Berlin, Germany. Depending on applicants’ schedules, the Research School will commence in April or October 2022. Working language is English. For the Berlin participants, the doctoral degree will be granted by the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin or the Freie Universität Berlin. Positions will be contract or stipend based depending on the funding institution.
