If you’re a Masters degree holder and seeking Fully Funded PhD Programs, Max Planck Society, Munich, Germany has several online applications open for PhD programs. Explore the PhD opportunities across diverse research areas and submit your application soon.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in genome organizing macromolecules
Summary of PhD Program:
The research group of “Structure and Dynamics of Chromosomes” led by Eugene Kim at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics is seeking for highly motivated PhD student and Postdoctoral Researcher (2 positions (f/m/d)) to study genome organizing macromolecules, including Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complexes, using in vitro biochemical and biophysical approaches.
Application Deadline: 31.08.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in High-Throughput Atomistic Simulations of Microstructure-Induced Failure
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will be carried out in the Microstructure & Mechanics Group of the Computational Materials Design Department of the MPI for Sustainable Materials. It will be supervised by Prof. E. Bitzek (atomistic microstructure simulations), Dr. J. Janßen (high-throughput methodology), and Dr. J. Best (experimental validation). Its focus lies on improving the longevity of materials by identifying weak spots for damage nucleation in the microstructure and developing processing and alloying strategies for their fortification or removal. To this end, high-throughput, massively large-scale atomistic simulations with machine learning potentials will be performed on realistic microstructures under various loading conditions.
Application Deadline: 18.08.2024

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Theoretical Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a PhD student (m/f/d) to join the research group ‘Stochastic Evolutionary Dynamics’ within the Department of Theoretical Biology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology. The position is part of the Collaborative Research Unit ‘Density dependent symbiosis in planktonic systems – DynaSym’, which brings together several research groups across Germany to test and develop basic concepts of density dependence of the symbiosis form (e.g., shift from predator-prey to mutualistic interaction and back).
Application Deadline: 31 August 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Collective Dynamics of Living Neuronal Networks
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, we use a novel stimulation approach for living neural networks. It exploitsself-organization within the network, with the aim to (a) greatly improve the information processing capacities of the network, and (b) develop an assay that can be used for clinical in vitro studies. In the research field of population dynamics of living neuronal networks, optogenetics and high-density electrode arrays allow us to manipulate and observe neurons on unprecedented scales, recording and stimulating thousands of neurons for hours, days and weeks.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cumulative culture in chimpanzees
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of this PhD project is to test whether chimpanzees have the capability and motivation to develop cumulative cultures – the process in which cultural innovations incrementally shape cultural expressions such that they become better suited for their envisioned purpose. You will study chimpanzees’ potential to create and maintain cumulatively established cultures by means of targeted experimental assays. Moreover, you will investigate whether chimpanzees’ social network properties are predictive of their potential to develop cumulative cultures with behavioural observations and network analyses.
Application Deadline: August 15th, 2024

6. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The SOLBAT initiative is funded by the Max Planck Foundation and poised to deliver pioneering work in the field of solar batteries and optoionics during the next five years. Research will focus on the emerging intersection of photo(electro)chemistry and solid state ionics and aim at the development of novel light storing devices and optoionic technologies, including various light-enhanced battery concepts, time-delayed (“dark”) photo(electro)catalysis, and light-assisted memory devices.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Plasma-Spin-Energy
Summary of PhD Program:
The tasks, depending on your experience, include experimental work on the formation of atomic layers of spintronic materials using novel plasma deposition technologies, and the fabrication of nanoscale spintronic devices using advanced plasma etching technologies. Further studies of their properties for applications in energy-efficient memory and computing, as well as theoretical studies of the dynamics of non-collinear, chiral magnetic textures (e.g. chiral domain walls, skyrmions) are anticipated.
