The Max Planck Graduate Center for Quantum Materials offers multiple fully funded PhD positions with no tuition costs, plus funding for scientific meetings and training, across five Max Planck Institutes in Dresden, Hamburg, Halle and Stuttgart, with a limited number of joint projects with Oxford University. Applicants need an MSc (or equivalent) with a strong background in physics, chemistry, mathematics or computer science, some knowledge of solid-state science and excellent English; outstanding candidates with a first-class four-year BSc may apply for the fast-track option.
