We mentor STEM applicants only. If your research aspirations are outside STEM subjects, you're very welcome to use this board and apply directly; we just aren't the right people to mentor you.
About this position
The International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials is a joint PhD program between the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany, Technische Universität Dresden and the University of St Andrews, Scotland. By working together, we create a highly attractive overall package of PhD‑level research on solid-state chemistry and condensed matter physics, building on world‐class research activities in quantum materials at the three institutions.
PhD positions at the International Max Planck Research School for Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials
Our program will provide successful candidates with a stimulating environment, in which they will have the opportunity to interact and work with world-leading scientists from the three sites and use our excellent infrastructure and facilities.
