Leibniz Graduate School on Aging (LGSA)

The Leibniz Graduate School on Aging (LGSA) is a joint program of the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) and the Friedrich Schiller University (FSU) in Jena.
Our Graduate School provides exciting training and research opportunities for graduates who wish to obtain a PhD in the field of aging research.
We investigate the fundamental biological processes that drive aging. Our research combines molecular, cellular, and systems-level approaches across a range of model organisms to understand how and why we age. As a PhD candidate at FLI, you will be part of an international and interdisciplinary environment where basic science meets the potential for long-term societal impact.
The LGSA is member of the Graduate Academy Jena (GA) and part of the Jena School of Molecular Medicine (JSMM), which is the umbrella organization for several graduate programs in this research field.
