Six PhD positions available at International Max Planck Research School
for Global Biogeochemical Cycles (IMPRS-gBGC), Jena, Germany
The IMPRS-gBGC offers fully funded positions to outstanding students
interested in research on biogeochemical cycles in the Earth system. The
school provides excellent research possibilities for students to obtain
a PhD degree in a 3-years graduate program.
The Research School
Successful applicants will be part of the International Max Planck
Research School for Global Biogeochemical Cycles. Research at the school
focuses on the distribution of elements essential to life and the
climate among the components of the Earth system and the interaction
between biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, land and oceans.
Besides doing research for their PhD project, PhD candidates also
benefit from a three-month external research visit, specialised courses
in e.g. statistics, Earth observation, modelling and analytical
techniques, as well as in soft skills. The school is thus an excellent
starting platform for a successful career in a field related to global
biogeochemical cycles and Earth System Science.
Open PhD projects related to …
Atmosphere & Ocean
Biosphere & Ecosystem
Soil & Below Ground
See the detailed project description of all project suggestions on the
following webpage:
<http://www.imprs-gbgc.de/index.php/Application/OpenProjects>
Requirements
We welcome applications from well-motivated and highly-qualified
students from all countries. Applicants hold (or are about to receive) a
Master of Science or equivalent degree in natural sciences. Proficiency
in English is required since English is the official language of the
program.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of
individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages
applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max
Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas
where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages
women to apply.
How to apply
Application deadline for these PhD positions is September 20, 2016. Top
candidates will be invited to take part in our selection symposium
(November 15-16, 2016).
