Graduate School Life Science Munich
"From Molecules to Systems"
The Graduate School Life Science Munich (LSM) from Molecules to Systems of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) offers an international doctoral programme in life sciences covering areas of anthropology, biochemistry and cell biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, microbiology, plant sciences, systematics and zoology to outstanding motivated and qualified young researchers. The programme, which is complemented by lectures, seminars and workshops, provides comprehensive scientific training in one of Europe´s top ranking universities. It is open for students that hold a Master´s or Diploma degree. Additionally, the LSM accepts outstanding students with a 4 year (8 semester including written thesis) Bachelor degree. Applicants will be selected based on academic qualification, research experience and motivation.
If you are interested, please visit our website www.lsm.bio.lmu.de for further information about the doctoral programme and the online application process.

Graduate School of Systematic Neurosciences
In the framework of the German Excellence Initiative (supported by the Wissenschaftsrat and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) the LMU Munich has founded a new Graduate School of Systematic Neurosciences (GSN-LMU).
The training concept of the school is - among other things - designed to offer:
- comprehensive state-of-the-art scientific training regarding topics and methods - exceptionally broad scope of the Munich neuroscience research spectrum for neuroscience-related projects and theses (MSc, PhD)
- various options for lab rotations within the Munich Graduate Program, with collaborating institutions at the LMU, Technische Universität München, Max-Planck-Institute, GSF, DLR, etc. and their international research partners.

GRK 2062 Molecular Principles of Synthetic Biology
Established in April 2015, this Research Training Group is designed to prepare young life scientists for the emerging era of synthetic biology. It provides an innovative, integrated PhD training program that is international in outlook and brings together a range of diverse disciplines from biology and chemistry to experimental and theoretical (bio-)physics. Funded by the DFG, the Research Training Group is a joint initiative by leading scientists from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich as well as from the Technical University Munich (TUM) and the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry.

Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG)-SFB 1243 Cancer Evolutions
The Collaborative Research Center SFB 1243 Cancer Evolution (Genetic and Epigenetic Evolution of Hematopoietic Neoplasms) studies different aspects of cancer development in an evolutionary framework, in particular the grounds for the poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia and indolent lymphomas. Using interdisciplinary approaches, the projects aim to decipher molecular mechanisms, measure the evolution of genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional heterogeneity in patients, mice and cellular systems, and to quantify relevant parameters by applying computational models.
The IRTG 1243 is a graduate program offering training in state-of-the-art techniques, including genetic engineering, single cell genomics, next-generation sequencing and computational data analysis. Research projects are supervised collaboratively by clinicians, molecular biologists, population geneticists, computational and evolutionary biologists. Doctoral researchers are encouraged to develop networking and communication skills necessary for successful careers in science.
Since the SFB 1243 is comprised of scientists from LMU Munich, TUM, the corresponding university clinics LMU Klinikum and Klinikum Rechts der Isar, and the Helmholtz Zentrum München, the IRTG works closely with the corresponding institutional graduate schools (LSM, MMRS, TUM-GS, HELENA) to provide the best appropriate program content for individual members.
