yDiv – Graduate School and Postdoc Programme of iDiv

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Robert Paxton, coordinator: Dr. Nicole Sachmerda-Schulz (funding 2012-2024)

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of life – not only species diversity but also genetic diversity, diversity of functions, interactions and ecosystems. Human actions dramatically change this diversity: species become extinct, genetic information and entire ecosystems are lost. At the same time, we know little about the extent of these changes, the underlying processes and consequences for humanity.

As part of iDiv, the graduate school offers great opportunities of courses and networking. yDiv doctoral researchers accumulate valuable skills in assimi- lating knowledge and techniques from various disciplines, method courses and a wide range of transferable skills training.

Research Training Group “Subject-Specific Learning and Interaction in Elementary School” (GRK 2731)

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Georg Breidenstein, coordinator: Dr. Johanna Leicht (funding 2022-2026)

About the doctoral program

The work of the Graduate School focuses on investigating the social practice of elementary school teaching and the question of the qualities of subject-specific learning. The Graduate School’s research approach is different in that it systematically links different traditions of classroom research.  The combination of German and mathematics didactics with praxeological teaching research and teaching quality research allows a multiple perspective on teaching and interdisciplinary theory development.

IMPRS “Global Multiplicity: A Social Anthropology for the Now”

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Ursula Rao, coordinator: Dr. Patrick Desplat (funding 2023-2029)

The topics of the research school respond to the current challenges faced by people around the world: climate change, environmental destruction, and species extinction; health crises; social inequality and the legacies of colonial rule; geopolitical tensions, nationalism, wars and civil wars. The vehemence and simultaneity of these phenomena has resulted in an increased sense of crisis everywhere in the world. This leads to a prolonged, intensive debate about what these changes mean, how to shape the future, and who bears the responsibility for doing so. While investigating processes of societal change and transformation has always been a key concern of the social sciences, there is still much that is not yet known about how reactions to current global transformations differ regionally and how they influence one another. The IMPRS doctoral students will therefore dedicate themselves to investigating the strategies and paradigms that people are developing to grapple with the challenges of the present. [read more]

Research Training Group “Inflammatory cues as modulators of early pancreatic carcinogenesis (InCuPanC)” (GRK 2751)

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. med. Jonas Rosendahl, coordinator: Sina Krehahn (admin.) (funding 2022-2026)

Chronic inflammation is an important risk factor for numerous malignancies including pancreatic cancer. In established pancreatic tumors, the impact of the inflammatory tumor microenvironment has been extensively studied during recent years. However, knowledge about the molecular circuits triggering inflammation-induced early pancreatic carcinogenesis is still very limited. Therefore, this Research Training Group (RTG) aims to systematically decipher the influence of different inflammatory cues on the transition from preinvasive precursor lesions to invasive cancers during early pancreatic carcinogenesis.

Research Training Group | Beyond Amphiphilicity: Self-Organization of Soft Matter Via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions (GRK 2670)

Written by

Spokesman: Prof. Dr. Dariush Hinderberger, coordinator: Dr. Imme Sakwa-Waltz 
funding period 2021-2030 by DFG; website

About the doctoral program

Amphiphilicity is a well-established qualitative concept contributing to the understanding of self-assembly processes of molecules composed of two inherently incompatible units (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) in aqueous systems. Polyphilic molecules are more complex molecules, from small molecules to macromolecules, that have interaction patterns with at least two types of interactions, one of them based on amphiphilicity. Self-assembled soft matter systems attain their complexity through noncovalent interaction patterns of their molecular constituents with their environment, solvents, biomolecules, membranes, and surfaces.

IPK Graduate Program

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Nicolaus von Wirén, coordinator: Dr. Britt Leps

Doctoral students from over 30 countries are engaged in research aiming to improve crop plants. Their work is focused on enhancing adaptation to drought and high temperature, strengthening host resistance to a number of diseases, bolstering the plants‘ capacity to take up nutrients and water from the soil, and generally increasing crop productivity. [read more]

The graduate school is part of Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK). It is one of the world’s leading international institutions in the field of plant genetics and crop science. Its research programme and services contribute materially to conserving, exploring and exploiting crop diversity. Its research goals are driven by the need to ensure an efficient and sustainable supply of food, energy and raw materials, thereby addressing a major global ecological challenge. website

International Max Planck Research School for the Anthropology, Archaeology and History of Eurasia (IMPRS ANARCHIE)

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Chris Hann, Prof. Dr. François Bertemes, Prof. Dr. Andreas Pecăr, coordinator: Dr. Sascha Roth
(funding 2012-2021)

ANARCHIE is dedicated to the study of diachronic processes in societies and cultures of the Old World. They are studied in a comparative transnational framework that focuses on the entire land mass of Asia and Europe, including the Mediterranean south coast. The aim of the graduate programme is to make theories and methods of archaeology, ethnology and history fruitful for each other through their mutual opening.

Four successive cohorts of about twelve international doctoral students each form common thematic foci: (1) collective identifications, (2) religion and ritual, (3) economic and demographic drivers of social change, and (4) representing domination. [read more]

Doctoral program “Languages – Texts – Society. Interpreting Asia and Europe”

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Ralf Elger, Prof. Dr. Christian Oberländer, coordinator: NN

The doctoral program supports research work which, on the basis of philological as well as humanities, cultural and social science findings, theories and methods, deals with texts from different language areas, cultures and epochs, with regard to their cultural and social relevance. The methods used in the doctoral theses cover a broad spectrum (discourse analysis, editing, sociology of literature, media analysis, source criticism, structural analysis, text-immanent interpretation, recognition of historical contexts, etc.) and include in particular analysis using digital technology. The diversity of the cultures and linguistic genres dealt with is intended to ensure that overcoming the European horizon does not lead to thinking in simple dichotomies (“East” and “West” etc.). [read more]

The doctoral programme “Languages – Texts – Society. Interpreting Asia and Europe” is an interdisciplinary course of study in the field of philological and regional science-oriented humanities. It aims to convey philological methods as central instruments of cultural and social science analysis and is offered by the Oriental Institute at MLU. website
