Va­can­cies for the 2027 co­hort

For the cohort of year 2027, positions are offered in the groups listed below as part of the PhoQS - FUTURE combined call for applications:

  1. Open PhD positions in one group
  2. Open interdisciplinary PhD positions between two groups

Unsolicited applications for groups that have not explicitly called for proposals in the current year or a proposal for a project are also possible.

Up to three desired projects/groups can be specified in the application.
