International Max Planck Research School for Global Biogeochemical Cycles(IMPRS-gBGC) is seeking applications for PhD research Fellowships in the fields of Atmosphere, Biosphere & Ecosystems, Soils, soil microbiology & soil hydrology, Paleoclimate. 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, specialism 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.
Eligibility & Criteria-
- Applications from well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries are welcomed.
- Applicants hold (or are about to receive) a Master of Science, German ‘Diploma’ or equivalent degree in natural -sciences.
- Proficiency in English is required since English is the official language of the program.
