MPI-CBG Postdoctoral Program

At MPI-CBG there are about 75 postdoctoral fellows in about 25 research labs. In order to foster collaborations and a sense of community among the postdocs, a Postdoctoral Program has been established. The program includes a yearly postdoc retreat, invited seminar speakers, career workshops and representation and participation in Faculty Meetings. In a survey about the top places to work for postdocs conducted among readers of The Scentist, the MPI-CBG was ranked number one for institutions outside of the United States.

If you would like to do postdoctoral research at CBG, please apply to individual group leaders.

We are planning a Cross-disciplinary Postdoctoral Fellows Program in collaboration with theoretical biologists at the nearby Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems. Postdocs in this program will work more independently and will not be bound to a single research lab. Thus they will share in and add to the highly interdisciplinary and collaborative biological community that we have in Dresden. Applicants will apply centrally with a research project to a committee made up of participating faculty. If you are interested in the Program please contact Joe Howard (howard@mpi-cbg.de).
