The IMPRS on Physical Processes in the Solar System and Beyond
at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in
Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, offers excellent research possibilities
for students to obtain a PhD degree in a three-year graduate program
in collaboration with the Universities of Braunschweig and Goettingen.
The research-oriented doctoral program focuses on training
in solar and stellar physics, planetary sciences as well as underlying
fundamental physics. Additional training in computational physics,
space technology, presentation skills and scientific writing complete
the science program.
High-profile space missions, outstanding projects for ground-based
instruments and data analysis, as well as theoretical and numerical
modelling provide a wide range of research possibilities for PhD
projects.
We encourage highly-qualified and well-motivated students from all
countries to apply. Prerequisites include a MSc in physics or a related
field (including a master thesis) and a good command of the English
language.
The next review of applications begins on 15 February 2013 for a start
of a PhD in autumn 2013.
Required application documents include a CV, a filled application form,
copies of university certificates and two letters of recommendation.
The application can be send by mail or by email (preferentially one
attachment in pdf format).
