Dear Colleagues,
applications are invited for the doctoral program of the
-> International Max Planck Research School for Astronomy &
Cosmic Physics at the University of Heidelberg (IMPRS-HD)
-> starting summer/autumn 2027.
The scientific environment in Heidelberg provides outstanding
research facilities with access to ground-based and space
telescopes as well as high-performance computers.
The following institutes of the Max Planck Society and
Heidelberg University take part in IMPRS-HD:
-> Max Planck Institute for Astronomy
-> Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics
-> Astronomisches Rechen-Institut
-> Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics
-> Landessternwarte Koenigstuhl
-> Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies
IMPRS-HD is an independent part of the Heidelberg Graduate
School for Physics.
A wide range of astrophysical topics is covered in Heidelberg,
among them
** planet & star formation, metal-poor stars ** compact stars
** extrasolar planets & substellar objects ** astrometry **
formation, evolution & dynamics of galaxies ** active galactic
nuclei ** cosmology & structure formation ** high energy
astrophysics ** instrumentation for astronomy & astro-particle
physics **
IMPRS-HD offers several fellowships within the graduate program.
We invite highly-qualified students aiming for a doctoral degree
in astrophysics to apply by
-> November 3, 2026 for the academic year starting Sep 2027
----------------
An earlier start of the research work is possible, depending on
funding.
Applicants are generally required to have or to expect a MSc (or
equivalent) in Physics or Astronomy, including a substantial MSc
thesis and a very good physics background. In exceptional cases
a BSc plus thesis could be accepted, if research experience can
be demonstrated.
