• PhD Program

PhD program

The International Max Planck Research School "Leipzig School of Human Origins" (IMPRS LSHO) is a joint PhD program of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA) and Leipzig University (LU). PhD students have a primary affiliation with one of the research groups at the MPI-EVA or one of the participating research groups at LU. The language of the PhD program is English.

The IMPRS LSHO provides interdisciplinary training and research opportunities for university graduates who wish to pursue a PhD in anthropology, archaeology, biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, computational biology, evolutionary genetics, human behavioral ecology, paleoanthropology, primatology, psychology, and related fields.

Our PhD program includes the following three disciplines:

1. Molecular Anthropology

This field provides valuable insights into the genetic history, diversity and biology of human populations as well as the broader implications of genetic research for understanding human evolution, health and identity. It integrates methods and concepts from genetics, anthropology, archaeology, and other disciplines to address questions about our shared human heritage and the factors that have shaped our biological and cultural diversity. We use and develop genetic techniques and methods to study the evolutionary history, genetic diversity, and population dynamics of human populations, their non-human primate relatives and other organisms.

Participating departments and research groups:

• Advanced DNA Sequencing Techniques Research Group (MPI, Meyer)   Matthias Meyer
• Computational Ancient Genomics Research Group (MPI, Kelso) Janet Kelso, Stéphane Péyregne

• Otto Hahn Research Group Tropical Archaeogenomics (MPI, Nägele) Kathrin Nägele

2. Human History, Evolution and Ecology

This multidisciplinary field explores the interactions between humans and their environments over time. By integrating insights from history, evolution and ecology we seek to understand the long-term trajectories of human societies, the factors that drive cultural and biological change and the relationships between humans (i.e. modern humans, fossil humans or their fossil relatives) and their (palaeo-) environments, including both natural and human-made ecosystems. We also address present-day challenges and strategies for building a sustainable and equitable future.

3. Language, Culture and Cognition

Bringing together linguistics, anthropology, psychology, cognitive sciences, evolutionary biology, social sciences, computer sciences and communication studies this field aims to explore how language shapes and is shaped by culture and how cognition influences language and cultural practices. Research in this field provides insights into fundamental questions about human nature, identity, social interaction and cultural diversity and the complex interplay of these aspects in diverse environments.

PhD program - Global Studies Peace and Security in Africa

The new call for applications for our PhD Programme in Global Studies Peace and Security in Africa runs until Feb 29, 2024. More information here .

GESI and IPSS jointly offer a three-year interdisciplinary doctoral training programme in the field of Global and Area Studies (with a special emphasis on peace and security in Africa).

The programme trains junior researchers and professionals in globalisation research. It qualifies them for employment, among others, in international organizations, in the field of conflict management, prevention and resolution and early warning (as well as other areas of the emerging African peace and security architecture). Our students qualify also as future lecturers, scholars and researchers for the rapidly expanding higher education sector in Ethiopia and its neighbouring countries; enabling these future elites to “think globally”.

Area Studies – as the study of particular cultural, national or geographic regions – refers to interdisciplinary research fields, which draw on a variety of methods and academic perspectives, ranging from established disciplines such as History, Political Science, Sociology, Political Economy and Cultural Sciences to newly emerging subdisciplines as, for instance, New Political Geography and Global History. By analyzing the implications globalization processes have on different world regions, Global Studies are strongly linked to Area Studies. Global and Area Studies – as a combination of social and cultural as well as historical approaches to the study of modern and contemporary globalisation processes and the comparison of world regions – offer the scientific basis of this PhD programme to develop an understanding for the dynamics of peace and security in Africa.

Since Africa is faced with global challenges in particular ways, the study programme intends to pay special attention to regional perspectives on globalisation processes and – in light of the continent’s specific contemporary challenges – to the multifaceted aspects of peace and security in Africa.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.

Stritch School of Medicine

Phd program.

The Cellular and Molecular Physiology track trains PhD candidates to acquire, analyze, and integrate data obtained from their basic research into a physiological context to understand the molecular basis of cell function and dysfunction within the organism. With cardiovascular research, neurosciences and metabolism as main research topics, students receive a solid, integrated training in basic medical sciences including Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Physiology, and Pathophysiology. 

The PhD program requires at least four (but usually not more than five) years to complete. The usual PhD plan of study is detailed below. It includes 48 credit hours of supervised research and didactic coursework. Students are expected to fulfill program obligations throughout the entire year but usually do not register for courses during the summer months. Elective courses can be taken instead of some (or all) of research credit hours listed in the second year.

Requirements

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The general requirements for the PhD degree are listed in the Loyola University /chicago Graduate School Catalog. Only some of those requirements are summarized here. Forty-eight semester credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree are required (plus dissertation research supervision). The time limit to complete all doctoral work is eight years for students with a bachelor’s degree and five years for students with a master’s degree. Students are required to participate in all departmental activities, such as research seminars, journal clubs, research retreats, and dissertation defenses; students are expected to schedule their research or other activities accordingly.

REQUIRED COURSEWORK

The IPBS PhD program requires students to complete a core curriculum of Molecular Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Methods, Ethics, Systems Biology, Statistics, Presentation Skills, and three research rotations during the first year.  The director of Graduate Programs will advise first year students in selecting lab rotations and electives with the assistance of individual track Graduate Program Directors (GPDs).  

Students in the Cellular and Molecular Physiology track continue complete the required coursework including Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, and two elective courses of choice; recommended options include Excitability and Ion Transport, Signal Transduction, Structure-Function of Membrane Proteins, Molecular Biology, or other approved electives. Students are required to participate in the Student Journal Club during semesters three, four, and five.  Students in their second, third, and fourth years are required to present one formal seminar annually.  Enrollment in the formal seminar course is required during the second year.  Additional coursework may be required (or desired), depending on the student's specific research interests. Decisions concerning additional coursework must be made with the approval of the student, their dissertation advisor and/or the GPD; a total of 48 credit hours are required for the PhD track.

Some of the information in the following sections is quoted directly from the IPBS handbook.

QUALIFYING EXAM

All students must pass a Qualifying Examination to become a PhD candidate.  The Qualifying Exam is standardized among all IPBS tracks and is administered at the end of the fourth semester after the required coursework is complete. The purpose of the Qualifying Exam is to evaluate the student’s competency in the following areas: 1. Hypothesis or Experimental Question: the student must have a hypothesis or experimental question which is clearly stated, testable, and well-justified. The rationale for this hypothesis or question must be clear and the student must be able to defend their proposed hypothesis or question. 2. Experimental Approach: the student must present an experimental approach that is clearly described and logical. The approach must directly test the hypothesis or experimental question; discussion of expected and alternative outcomes, potential pitfalls, and alternative approaches must be included. 3. Background Knowledge: the student must display a deep understanding of the Qualifying Exam topic and supporting literature. Additionally, the student must have broad knowledge of the general biomedical sciences and experimental approaches, especially in their specific track. 4. Oral Presentation: the student must clearly articulate and describe their research proposal. The student must be able to defend their rationale for specific approaches and respond to critiques professionally.  Overall oral communication skills are evaluated in this section.

Please consult the IPBS Handbook for procedural details.

SELECTION OF A DISSERTATION ADVISOR

By the end of the first year, students will have completed the three required laboratory rotations and will select a dissertation advisor and track in consultation with the Director of Graduate Programs and GPD. Students will communicate this decision with the Graduate Program Office via submission of the “IPBS PhD Track & Advisor Selection Form” (Appendix 1). Forms also will be available at the Graduate Program website HERE .

SELECTION OF A DISSERTATION COMMITTEE

As soon as possible after passing the Qualifying Exam, the student will form a PhD Dissertation Committee, consisting of at least five members the student selects in consultation with their advisor. The student's advisor and three members must be members of the Graduate Faculty of the Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences. We recommend that one member is from outside the Program, including from outside the institution. The committee membership must be approved by the GPD and communicated to the Associate Dean of the Graduate School, who will have the responsibility of officially appointing the Committee. It is strongly suggested that the Committee be formed by January 1 of the third year and required no later than August 1, at the start of year 4.  n the first meeting, the Committee members will select a Chair who is not the student's advisor. The student should schedule meetings with the Dissertation Committee at least annually to discuss progress or changes of direction in their dissertation work (see “Subsequent Dissertation Committee Meetings” below). The student will initiate the Dissertation Committee form by l ogging into the Graduate Student Progress System (GSPS) .  Once Committee members are entered, the form will be approved (electronically) by the Director of the Dissertation Committee and the Graduate School. (On the GSPS form, the term “Director” refers to the Committee Chair, which is different from the student’s advisor, who should be designated as “Principal Investigator”). Electronic approval from readers on the Committee is not required at this time, but all Committee members will be required to approve the subsequent Dissertation Proposal form and sign the Dissertation Defense form. In rare circumstances, it may be necessary to change the composition of the Dissertation Committee. Because the Committee is an official body appointed by the Associate Dean of the Graduate School, a student must make a formal, written request to the Associate Dean to add or replace any member of the Dissertation Committee (and then a new committee imust be created in the GSPS and approved.

PRESENTATION OF DISSERTATION PROPOSAL (THESIS OUTLINE)

The student will send the Dissertation Committee a written Dissertation Proposal which outlines the dissertation, including: background, specific aims, experimental plan, and bibliography. The proposal should be developed as soon as possible after passing the Qualifying Exam, and no later than August 1, at the start of year 4.  The experimental plan is not binding and can be modified after consultation with the Dissertation Committee. A meeting of the Committee should be scheduled at least two (but not more than four) weeks after submission of the document. At that meeting, the student will defend the Dissertation Proposal during an oral presentation. The Dissertation Committee must approve the Proposal with or without modifications by written vote of the members and submit the written document to the program administration office.

Students must initiate the “Ballot for Approval of a Dissertation Proposal” by logging into the GSPS .  Committee members, the Graduate Program Director and the Associate Dean will approve by electronic signature.

SUBSEQUENT DISSERTATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS

At least yearly and more frequently if the Dissertation Committee recommends, the student will schedule Committee meetings to evaluate their  progress. Prior to the meeting, the student will submit a Progress Report detailing the experimental work performed since the last Dissertation Committee meeting. Each Committee member will evaluate the progress and the Committee Chair will compile a written report.  This report will be submitted to the Program Administrator, who will distribute it to the student, the GPD, and include it in the student’s file.

STUDENT PROGRESS

The Dissertation Committee plays an essential role in monitoring and evaluating the student’s progress towards completing laboratory experiments, writing, and dissertation defense.  The Committee Chair is responsible for documenting the student’s progress and the results of each Committee meeting. In addition to evaluating the student’s progress, the Dissertation Committee may recommend supplementary didactic courses or training in special methods. These recommendations should be included in the Dissertation Committee's report.

The Dissertation Committee can, and should, encourage timely completion of the degree. In cases where progress is significantly delayed, the Committee (in consultation with the Dissertation Mentor) may recommend conditions to be met and within specific deadlines. Failure to meet such deadlines could result in suspension of stipend support and/or dismissal from the program due to insufficient progress (see “Causes for Dismissal” in the Handbook).

DISSERTATION DEFENSE

The candidate must be registered for the term in which they take their Dissertation Defense. The candidate must send each Dissertation Committee member a complete written document of the Dissertation at least four weeks prior to the defense. All Dissertation Committee members must be present at the defense, unless the Dean of the Graduate School approves the absence. In most cases, presence of an out-of-town committee member via phone will be acceptable. The final, revised document must be approved by all Dissertation Committee members prior to conferring the degree.  At least one week before the defense, a public invitation must be made to the Dean of the Graduate School, the Associate Dean of the Graduate School at the Health Sciences Campus, the Dean of the Stritch School of Medicine, and the Health Science Campus faculty and students, announcing the oral presentation of the candidate's research and defense. This invitation can be printed as a brochure including the candidate’s curriculum vitae, publications, dissertation abstract, and the constitution of the Dissertation Committee. A 45-minute public, oral presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer period, after which a closed examination with the candidate and the Dissertation Committee members will be held. The candidate must successfully defend their dissertation and must demonstrate solid background knowledge of the corresponding field of inquiry. Successful completion of the oral examination requires approval of the Chair and at least three other voting Committee members. The student will make any modifications the Committee requests and submit the final dissertation to the Associate Dean of the Graduate School at the Health Sciences Campus within a month of the oral defense.

If a student fails to receive the Committee's approval at the oral examination, they may request to schedule a second examination, which must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School, with input from the Associate Dean of the Graduate School at the Health Sciences Campus. The GPD  will initiate the Thesis/Dissertation Defense form  and will be instructed to submit a pdf of the approved (paper) Dissertation Defense Form. Electronic approvals of the Graduate School will follow.

During the first year, students become familiar with all potential research mentors in the Research Rotations and gain hands-on research experience during three, 10-week research rotations. For each rotation, students will have a desk and study space in one of the Physiology faculty's lab.   The faculty member sponsoring the laboratory rotation and the student will plan and implement various laboratory research experiences during the 10 weeks. Ensuring adequate time for coursework also will be an important consideration in planning the rotation's activities.  At the end of the sixth or seventh week of each rotation, students are required to give a 15-minute presentation to the Physiology faculty on an aspect of their lab experience.  The student’s goals are three-fold: to maintain a high level of academic achievement; begin to narrow research interests and select a potential thesis adviser.
