MGK – Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG)
IRTG Committee:
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Christian Behl Institut für Pathobiochemie Universitätsmedizin der JGU Mainz
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Volker Dötsch Institut für Biophysikalische Chemie (IBPC) GU Frankfurt
Dr. rer. nat Anja Bremm Institut für Biochemie 2 (IBC2) GU Frankfurt
Curriculum:
We aim to ensure a comprehensive, high-level education of PhD students and postdocs and provide a platform encouraging new ideas, concepts, and collaborations. The curriculum includes several modules:
IRTG lectures: Two Interdisciplinary Seminar Series on Biochemistry and Technology, both designed along the key research issues of SFB 1177 and held by the project leaders.
Lab Rotations to deliver hands-on training and experience in a wide range of technologies.
SFB 1177 seminars: The Autophagy Club lecture series (with internationally renown guest speakers).
Complementary Academic Training covering transferable skills.
The curriculum is complemented by an annual retreat and continuous career mentoring. The IRTG is well embedded in the already existing efforts at Frankfurt and Mainz universities for structured PhD education: Courses from Goethe Graduate Academy (GRADE) and the General Postgraduate Program (GPP) are implemented in the IRTG schedule.
Fellowships:
For the initial financing of new projects within the autophagy field, the SFB awards six-month fellowships to qualified candidates throughout the year. Group leaders should direct their applications to the coordinator of the SFB 1177.
