The International Max Planck Research School Mathematics in the Sciences (IMPRS MiS) is a joint activity of three institutes of Leipzig University - Institute of Mathematics, Institute of Computer Science and Institute of Theoretical Physics - and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences. It leads interested graduate students towards research problems in physical and life sciences. This involves a broad range of mathematical fields and disciplines. Find out more about the research profile on our website.

We invite applications for several 

PhD positions

The IMPRS offers positions (so-called Doktorandenförderverträge) to students who will work on a PhD thesis under the supervision of its scientific members. The appointment will be for three years and payment is based on the Collective Wage Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD) corresponding to 65 percent of Pay Group 13.

The Max Planck Society strives for gender diversity. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and we explicitly encourage applications from women as well as from all others who would bring additional diversity dimensions to our institute. The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
