Join us! Applications invited for doctoral and post-doctoral positions

MPI-SWS offers a vibrant, dynamic, multi-cultural environment for research and education. We have openings for both graduate students and postdoctoral research scholars.

Graduate students work as members of one or more of the institute’s research groups, which perform internationally leading, highly visible research in their respective fields of specialization. Graduate students receive individual training and mentorship from MPI-SWS faculty, preparing them for leadership positions in academic or industrial research.

Postdoctoral Fellows have the opportunity to work with MPI-SWS faculty on existing lines of research, as well as develop their own research agenda under MPI-SWS faculty supervision.
