General Information
The Institute for Ophthalmic Research (IOR) in Tübingen, Germany and the Institut de la Vision (IDV) in Paris, France are two of Europe´s largest institutions in the field of vision research. Together they host the new Limits2Vision research training network to educate the next generation of European vision researchers.
PhD positions will be very soon available in the areas of genetics, information processing, and metabolism. A total of almost 20 positions are available in France and Germany, to be funded for up to 3.5 years. The researchers will be part of a large, multi-disciplinary team located at both institutions, that will regularly meet and exchange. The several research projects within the Limits2Vision programme will systematically unravel the mechanisms that allow the retina to successfully operate at biological limits. Please stay tuned and visit our homepage regularly to obtain timely the PhD positions offer!
Institutes Environment & Projects Description
The displayed figure on the left provides an overview and some key facts about the two research institutes.
The individual projects in the Limits2Vision programme from the French (FR) and German (DE) partners cover a wide range of topics that can be grouped into three main scientific sectors, namely genetics, metabolism, and information processing. You will find all the necessary details on the Limits2Vision different projects, their interactions, and the German-French collaborations on the program webpage (it will be soon available).
