Emerging Scientist Series

Through the Emerging Scientist Series seminars, we invite excellent postdoctoral researchers working in fields related to our work to give a talk at our Institute. Seminars will take place at one of our two sites – Seewiesen and Martinsried – and offer opportunities to connect with scientists at the MPI for Biological Intelligence, including faculty, postdocs and PhD students. Travel and accommodation expenses are covered by the Institute.
