Project description
James Vaupel’s review of the “Biodemography of Human Ageing” in Nature magazine last March was partially a review and partially a forum to advance a novel, path-breaking hypothesis. The hypothesis is that all humans, both today and in the past, share the same (or almost the same) “rate of aging”, i.e., rate of increase in the chance of death due to increasing deterioration with age (senescence). This is a controversial hypothesis. A research project to study this hypothesis is being launched. Pilot research was conducted in 2010 and the full project will be carried out in 2011-2015. The invariant rate of aging is denoted by the letter b and hence the project is also called the b-project and the researchers working on it are known as the b-team.

Application
Applications should be addressed to the Director, Prof. James W. Vaupel. Applications should include: (1) a CV, (2) a copy of relevant publications (if any), (3) a list of two or three persons, with email addresses, who can be contacted as references, and (4) a short statement of why you are interested in the rate of aging project and what aspects of it you are most interested in working on.

The Max Planck Society wishes to increase the share of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and strongly encourages women to apply. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply
