Fully Funded PhD Positions (Doctoral Researcher [f/m/d]) at Max Planck Graduate Center for Quantum Materials 

Are you interested in working in the rapidly evolving research field of quantum materials? 

The Max Planck Graduate Center for Quantum Materials (MPGC-QM) offers first-class education and training in a stimulating research environment. We are looking for highly motivated PhD students who have a record of excellence in their previous studies. Applicants are expected to have an outstanding Bachelor or Master degree in a field of study which is well-aligned with our research activities. Candidates from any country can apply for admission to our Center. Gender balance is an important issue for us, and we particularly welcome applications from female candidates. Furthermore, we encourages applications from individuals with disabilities. Deadline for sub­mission of your application is December 11^th, 2024!

Seven Max Planck Institutes (Berlin, Dresden, Erlangen, Hamburg, Halle, and Stuttgart) – all of them world-leading institutions in their respective fields – bring together their expertise in the research on quantum materials and thus offer a truly unique graduate pro­gram in this intriguing research area.

In addition, we offer a limited number of joint PhD projects with Oxford University. Students working on these projects will share their time between Oxford and one of the participating Max Planck Institutes and will obtain their PhD degree from Oxford University.

We offer

• Vibrant research environment with access to a large number of world-class research facilities and cutting-edge research projects
• A modern, English-speaking structured PhD program
• Fully funded positions, no tuition costs, and additional funding for scientific meetings and trainings
• Individual supervision and mentoring by research scientists who are leaders in their respective fields
