Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research Training Partnership Information Session (4/23/25)

Posted: 4/16/2025 ()

CSDE collaborates with the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in a doctoral training program called the International Max Planck Research School for Population, Health and Data Science (IMPRS-PHDS). This program is based in Rostock, Germany, but includes 12 doctoral programs in the U.S. and Europe. IMPRS-PHDS students engage with each other through either in-person or virtual workshops in Germany and around the world. Faculty mentors include members of the student’s own committee in their home institution, as well as MPIDR faculty and possible faculty from partner institutions.

Information about the program, the faculty, and partner institutions can be found here.

Successful applicants will be supported by CSDE for one quarter while they travel to Rostock, Germany to work with an MPIDR faculty member. The funding may be used any time between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026. This opportunity is only open to current CSDE Trainees (enrolled in our certificate program or NIH fellowship program).
