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. Possible Projects:
Clara Correia-Melo - Dissecting host-microbiome metabolism in aging
Dennis de Bakker - Characterization and mitigation of blood-brain barrier dysfunction in short-lived turquoise killifish
Melike Dönertas - Comparative Systems Biology of Aging
Christoph Englert - The role of cellular senescence in lifespan determination and regeneration in the short-lived killifish Nothobranchius furzeri
Maria Ermolaeva - Extreme weight-loss trajectories: implications for aging and healthspan
Christoph Kaether - Novel Mechanisms of Microcephaly Driven by Early Secretory Pathway Proteins
Janine Kirstein - Analysis of neuronal susceptibility towards proteotoxic stress with aging
K.Lenhard Rudolph - Developmental influences on epigenetic changes that shape the pace of aging
Dario Riccardo Valenzano - Evolutionary Origins, Diversification, and Activity of Transposable Elements During Aging
Claudia Waskow - Mechanisms of T cell immune aging in mice - histone modification as driver of aging?
Katarzyna Winek - Exploring the role of the microbiota-brain-body axis in ischemic stroke
