In order to promote future scientists the best way we can, CIPSM decided to form an own Graduate School. The Graduate School Life Science Munich (LSM) of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) offers an international doctoral program 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 researchers. The program, which will be complemented by lectures, seminars and workshops, provides comprehensive scientific training in one of Germany´s highest ranking universities. It is open for students that hold a Master´s or Diploma´s degree. Applicants will be selected based on academic qualification, research experience and motivation. Additionally, the LSM accepts outstanding students with a Bachelor´s degree. Bachelor graduates will be enrolled in a preparatory program, which is covered by a stipend of 643 Euro per month for living expenses.   If you are interested, please visit our website www.lsm.bio.lmu.de for further information and online application.
