Fully-funded PhD Positions: MPI for Biogeochemistry 2809 views

The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biogeochemistry in association with the Friedrich Schiller University (IMPRS-gBGC) is offering a PhD program specializing in global biogeochemistry and related Earth System sciences.

Research areas:
  • Improved understanding of biogeochemical processes with an emphasis on terrestrial ecosystems
  • Development of observational techniques to monitor and assess biogeochemical feedbacks in the earth system
  • Theory and model development for improving the representation of biogeochemical processes in comprehensive earth system models

Duration: 3 years, fulltime position

Starting date: flexible

Value: PhD researchers with a Master’s or Diploma degree receive either a scholarship which is free of tax and social insurance or a support contract.

Requirements

  • Applications are invited from well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries.
  • Applicants must hold (or are about to receive) M.Sc. or equivalent degree in natural sciences.
  • Applicants must possess proficiency in English since English is the official language of the program.

How to apply:
