Welcome!
The Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence is a vibrant, stimulating, and supportive place to work. We bring together people from diverse backgrounds, career stages, and research areas – all with a shared curiosity about uncovering the secrets of life. We believe that a diversity of people, perspectives and experiences is essential to the cutting-edge research we carry out.
As part of the Max Planck Society, we are committed to providing an inclusive and respectful working environment. All 86 institutes in the society support and promote employees regardless of gender, nationality, religion, disability, age, cultural background, or sexual identity. Being part of this network also means that our trainees, early-career scientists and other employees have access to broad opportunities to learn and exchange ideas.
Our two campuses are located just to the south of Munich – in beautiful sites that sit between the foothills of the Bavarian Alps and the vibrant state capital – and offer excellent working conditions and a fantastic quality of life. There is an abundance of nature, leisure, culture, sports and educational opportunities right on their doorstep.
Whether you are visiting for a few days, a few months or several years, we want your time settling in here to be as smooth as possible, so we have put together some useful information to help get you started and feel at home.
We look forward to seeing you!
