In this view, you will find all available postdoctoral positions at the Max Planck Institutes. You can review the details of each position, including specific requirements, by clicking on 'Details' in the last column.
As an open and diverse organization, the MPG is characterized by a high proportion of international scientists, its decentralized structures and the subject-specific needs of its three scientific sections. Valuing and promoting all MPG employees regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, social background, and the need to balance work and family life, is an overarching organizational development goal of all personnel development and career measures at the MPG. These topics are also considered and implemented in the Max Planck Postdoc Program. Applications from people with severe disabilities are strongly encouraged.
Payment depends on personal conditions and qualifications according to the TVöD guidelines. Benefits are in line with the public service.
