Our Training Programs
MPFI works with students from the high school to postdoctoral level to provide cutting-edge training, advancing the next generation of neuroscience.
MPFI's "Ask Max" initiative bridges the gap between classroom science and real-world scientific inquiry. Using school district-approved activities, we ignite a passion for science among K-12 students in our community.
Open to high school students preparing to enter their junior year, this six-week summer internship is designed for students with an interest in brain structure and function, and learning the imaging techniques and technologies used in neuroscience.
Designed for highly motivated undergraduates interested in brain science, our programs provide a launchpad for graduate school and careers in neuroscience research and medicine.
MPFI offers ongoing opportunities for recent graduates who want to gain lab experience before pursuing advanced studies.
MPFI’s neuroscience PhD program is offered jointly with Florida Atlantic University, bringing the unparalleled resources of the Max Planck Society to your PhD experience
Combining clinical experience with neuroscience research, the FAU-MPFI M.D. / Ph.D. dual degree program offers a dynamic path to becoming a physician-scientist.
Our postdoc positions provide world-class training for tomorrow’s scientific leaders. Advance your career through outstanding mentorship and experience with cutting-edge technology.
This is an intensive laboratory-oriented course focusing on applying the latest techniques to neuroscience research. Providing expertise and hands-on learning experiences to enable attendees to incorporate modern neuroscience tools into their research.
Our Labs
MPFI seeks to provide a new understanding of the origins, development, and function of the nervous system and its capacity to produce perception, thought, language, memory, emotion, and action.
