Welcome to iGRAD-Plant - a graduate program for plant science

The International Graduate School for Plant Science is offering an international PhD program with excellent research possibilities for young scientists.
iGRAD-Plant is a joint program with the  Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Genetics program of the Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA. In order to achieve international research experience all PhD students in the iGRAD-Plant program perform a 6 to 9 month research stay at the Michigan State University, one of the leading universities of plant science in the USA.

Research areas and training are covered in:

  • Molecular Plant Sciences
  • Genetics
  • Quantitative Biology
  • Bioinformatics
The program is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG/ GRK1525 "The dynamic response of plants to a changing environment"

Excellent students with a Bachelor's, Master's or Diploma Degree in Biology, Biochemistry, or Bioinformatics are strongly encouraged to apply.

Open positions

At the moment we have open positions in the following research projects:

Plant evolutionary genetics (Prof. Laura Rose)

I am looking for a PhD candidate interested in plant evolutionary genetics. In my lab, we are investigating protein sequence evolution and phenotypic variation in disease resistance in wild tomato species.  This project includes both experimental and computational components and will involve functional studies on plants (inoculations with bacteria and trans-gene expression) and classical population genetics. Applicants should have a Master's degree or equivalent in biology or a related field. Previous laboratory experience and coursework in evolutionary biology and genetics are desirable.
