1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Interdisciplinary collaborative medical project
Summary of PhD Program:
The project focuses initially on the development of labelling and fluorescence imaging strategies to target various endogenous biological targets, in particular the translation of biochemical assays to a microscopy read-out. The candidates (m/f/d) will work on the optimization and evaluation of endogenous and exogenous live-cell and fixed labelling approaches for super-resolution microscopy. This project combines molecular biological approaches, biochemical techniques and far-field super-resolution microscopy.The research project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the KMU-innovativ: Photonik und Quantentechnologien.
Application Deadline: 15th Dec 2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Deciphering the mechanisms of polymicrobial infections using Drosophila melanogaster as a model
Summary of PhD Program:
The Iatsenko lab utilizes the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a genetic model to investigate conserved host defense mechanisms, pathogen virulence factors that mediate immune evasion, and the role of microbiota in infection outcomes. Our primary focus lies in unravelling the pathogenesis of polymicrobial infections. While the recognition of the polymicrobial nature of infections is growing, the prevalence, microbial composition, and impact of such infections on natural Drosophila populations remain unknown. Therefore, our project aims to achieve the following objectives: 1) Estimate the prevalence and microbial composition of polymicrobial infections in natural Drosophila populations. 2) Investigate the effects of isolated polymicrobial communities versus individual microbes on the host. 3) Decipher the mechanisms that govern inter-microbial interactions during selected polymicrobial infections.
Application Deadline: November 30th 2023

3. 11 Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational and experimental plant sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
The mission of our IMPRS is to study fundamental biological processes in plants and to create knowledge and material that can empower innovative plant breeding. More than 30 research groups study regulatory networks controlling fundamental traits such as reproductive development, organ geometry and growth, innate immunity and microbiome effects on plant performance. They apply and develop a broad range of interdisciplinary technologies ranging from genetics and genomics to structural biochemistry, advanced imaging and computational modelling in various plant species.
Application Deadline: January 6th 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nuclear Physics
Summary of PhD Program:
We will trap a single positron and an electron simultaneously in a cryogenic Penning ion trap and cool them to the quantum ground-state of motion. Then, using coherent spin manipulation, we search for a possible tiny difference of their properties (mass, charge or magnetic moment) – which would indicate physics beyond our standard model and help understanding what happened to the antimatter in the early universe.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Gravity & Matter at the Extreme
Summary of PhD Program:
The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) in Potsdam, Germany, announces the opening of several PhD positions in “Gravity & Matter at the Extreme”. We are particularly interested in hiring creative, proactive and motivated candidates who flourish at working in a vibrant, interdisciplinary and synergistic group. Successful candidates will join the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Gravitational-Wave Astronomy at the AEI, comprised of the “Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity” (ACR) and “Computational Relativistic Astrophysics” (CRA) divisions at the AEI in Potsdam, the University of Potsdam (UP) and the Humboldt University (HU) in Berlin. Our graduate students are exposed to a variety of research topics and have access to a world-wide research network, including international partner universities (University of Maryland and the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University).
Application Deadline: January 7th, 2024
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Link between Electrocatalyst and Corrosion Kinetics
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Interface Science headed by Prof. Beatriz Roldán Cuenya at the Fritz Haber Institute carries out cutting-edge research on advanced functional materials with applications in heterogeneous catalysis, energy conversion and electrochemistry. By combining unique synthesis methods, state-of-the art tools for experimental characterization and advanced approaches to data analysis, atomistic details of thermal catalysis and electrochemical reactions at gas/solid and liquid/solid interfaces are revealed. In particular, structure-reactivity correlations on nanostructured materials can be established, paving the way for the rational design of novel catalytic materials.
Application Deadline: May 31, 2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Human Behavior, Ecology and Culture
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a student to join the project team. Potential topics for the PhD research include longitudinal change in food security and/or sharing networks, the relationship between cultural practices and well-being, or the cultural psychology of stress in Inuit communities. The Sanguatsiniq project’s research questions and methodologies are rooted in the research needs of the study communities, and the candidate will be expected to spend time working in one or both of the study communities, assisting with interviews focused on knowledge transmission, stress, and social networks, and/or the co-development and monitoring of community programs to enhance food security and well-being.
Application Deadline: 15th of December 2023

8. 05 Fully Funded PhD Position in Knowledge and Its Resources: Historical Reciprocities
Summary of PhD Program:
The IMPRS-KIR is a research-driven PhD program based in the history and philosophy of science, technology, and medicine (HPSTM). It is a collaboration between the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and Technische Universität Berlin. The IMPRS-KIR traces the deep entanglements of knowledge and its resources from a long-term and global perspective. Key to its agenda is a “historical-political epistemology” that highlights how knowledge is shaped historically by a great variety of resources – political systems, technological infrastructures, social interaction, material objects and media technologies. Knowledge, in turn, is understood as a means to define and unlock such resources, while being, in and of itself, one of the key resources of human culture.
Application Deadline: January 15, 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Root Biology and Mycorrhiza
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims at understanding the role of karrikin signalling, a plant hormone signaling pathway, in the development of a plant-fungal symbiosis called arbuscular mycorrhiza, in which plants and fungi exchange nutrients. Interestingly, the impact of this pathway on the symbiosis differs among plant species, and we want to understand the molecular basis for this phenomenon. The project will focus on the mechanistic function of one protein in symbiosis. The work will involve handling of plants and fungi and have a focus on protein biochemical methods as well as a number of molecular biology and microscopy techniques.
Application Deadline: 30th November 2023
