The Max Planck Society is an independent, non-profit research organization, whose goal is to promote excellent research at its institutes. Max Planck Research Groups have been a key part of support of junior scientists for over 50 years. They provide postdocs with a first-rate support to help them on their scientific career paths. The appointment of Group Leader positions is subject to a rigorous, centrally managed selection procedure. For more information about the Max Planck Society and its Institutes, please see https://www.mpg.de/en.

The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics welcomes applications for Max Planck Research Groups. Candidates are encouraged to consult the institute’s website as to define whether their scientific profile matches us as a potential host institution: https://www.mpi-cbg.de.  Our institute does not preselect project proposals, rather these are assessed by an interdisciplinary committee of the Max Planck Society.
