Currently Open IMPRS Projects

The PhD projects listed below are currently open as part of the 2023 IMPRS Application Call. The projects will either be carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany or at the University of Cologne, Germany. This is detailed in the project descriptions below.
