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. The School calls for applications for PhD positions.
The Leibniz Graduate School on Aging (LGSA) belongs to the Leibniz Association - a non-university research organization equivalent to the Max Planck Society and the Helmholtz Association.
At the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI), 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’ll be part of an international and interdisciplinary environment where basic science meets the potential for long-term societal impact. Join us in uncovering the biology of aging and shaping the future of healthy longevity.
Training and research within the PhD program is interdisciplinary. Lecture series, seminars, journal clubs and courses as well as training in presentation skills and language classes complement the practical work. A thesis committee provides comprehensive support and the mentorship in the career development of the student. The program language is English.
