Fully Funded PhD Positions in Nanoscience

The International Max Planck Research School for Science and Technology of Nano-Systems offers fully funded PhD positions based at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. The school brings together world-leading expertise in physics, chemistry, and materials science to design and understand atomically engineered materials for applications in information technology, energy, and sustainability. Successful candidates will engage in curiosity-driven, interdisciplinary research using state-of-the-art instruments ranging from molecular-beam epitaxy to advanced spectroscopy and quantum theory. The program provides comprehensive professional training, mentoring, and an international community with English as the working language.

• Conduct independent and creative doctoral research in modern nanoscience and atomically engineered materials.
• Design, fabricate, and characterize advanced nano-devices using state-of-the-art cleanroom and laboratory instrumentation.
• Collaborate within an international interdisciplinary community spanning physics, materials science, and chemistry.
• Participate in scientific communication, project management, and annual researcher-led retreats.
• Publish research findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals and present results at international conferences.
