Job Description: The International Max Planck Research School for Science and Technology of Nanostructures is intended for young scientists and researchers who wish to obtain their doctorate degree. The research students work on experimental or theoretical projects in the interdisciplinary field of nanostructures and their properties. They will be provided with additional training in form of lectures, workshops and soft skill courses. The language of the Research School is English.
Requirements: Applicants are expected to hold a Diploma or Master degree from a German University or an equivalent foreign degree in physics, chemistry, material sciences, engineering sciences or in a similar field.
If you do not hold the degree yet, it is still possible to hand in your application as long as you are sure that it will be conferred to you before the start of the classes.
A good command of the English language is mandatory. Please provide a standard English test with your application (TOEFL or similar).
The Research School is a joint initiative of the Martin-Luther-University, the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials, and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle.
User Review
