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

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