PhD positions – International Max Planck School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials (null)

The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and
Physics of Quantum Materials is a joint PhD programme between the
Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Dresden,
Germany, Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St
Andrews, Scotland. By working together, we create a highly
attractive overall package of PhD level research on solid-state
chemistry and condensed matter physics. It builds on world‐class
research activities in quantum materials at the three institutions,
and will provide successful candidates with a stimulating
environment and the opportunity to interact and work with leading
scientists from the three sites. Our research is generously funded
and successful candidates will have the opportunity to work with
world‐leading people, infrastructure and facilities. They will also
be financially supported to cover tuition and living expenses. We
seek to recruit up to ten PhD students in 2019 to a range of
inter‐institutional research projects in the broadly defined field
of quantum materials. Research work will be combined with graduate
courses and general skills training. Both experimental and
theoretical projects are offered and a complete list of all
projects is available on our website. We aim to maintain a good
gender balance within the School and strongly encourage
applications from female candidates. Excellent candidates from any
country are encouraged to apply. While most positions will be
filled with students holding a Masters degree (or equivalent),
applications from candidates with excellent Bachelor degrees will
also be considered. We are currently accepting applications.
Successful candidates are expected to start their projects no later
than September 2019. For more information including application
guidelines please visit our web site: www.imprs‐cpqm.mpg.de
