INTERNATIONAL MAX PLANCK RESEARCH SCHOOL FOR DYNAMICAL PROCESSES IN ATOMS, MOLECULES AND SOLIDS

Modelling in the natural sciences – from algorithms to applications
Location: DRESDEN (GERMANY)

The programme starts in Fall 2012 for a duration of 3 years. English is the working language. The PhD Thesis can be submitted in English. 

The school offers research opportunities for young scientist who wish to obtain a doctorate degree in physics, theoretical/computational chemistry or scientific computing. The focus is on the dynamics in matter, covering a wide spectrum ranging from finite atomic and molecular systems up to infinite surfaces and solids. The language of the school including the lecture program and the seminars is English.
We offer excellent research facilities in our partner institutions: the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, the Technische Universität Dresden, the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research in Wroclaw/Poland and the Institutes for Chemical Technology and Organic/Biochemistry in Prague/Czech Republic.
We are looking for highly talented and motivated students. The standard entrance qualification is a Master degree or a Diploma. PhD fellowships are available for students worldwide and will be awarded on a competitive basis.
Applications should be submitted by April 30, 2012. For more information, the application procedure and the necessary application forms please check the webpage of the school:http://www.imprs-dynamics.mpg.de/application.html
