Who are we looking for?
We are looking for committed and strong personalities who enjoy working with team members from all over the world in a highly dynamic and competitive field of research that goes beyond the current state of knowledge. We believe in diverse teams and are looking forward especially to the application of female students.
What do we expect?
We expect you to work independently in accordance with the principles of good scientific practice. You should enjoy challenges and not be afraid to develop your own ideas and go beyond them. For PhD positions we require a MSc degree (or equivalent, e.g. 4-year Bachelor’s degree) in physics, materials science, or related fields, including a final thesis project.
What do we offer you?
We offer plenty of freedom for your own research ideas in state-of-the-art laboratories on an area of over 1400 square meters with unique capabilities. You will be supported by your supervisor and co-workers, by highly competent technicians and engineers with a wide range of expertise (vacuum, cryogenics, precision assembly) and a mechanical and electrical workshop to help you develop outstanding systems and components. In addition you will benefit from the support (courses, workshops, lectures) provided by our local graduate school IMPRS-STNS, the resources of the Max Planck Society and a network of renowned scientists from all over the world that we collaborate with successfully.
