- Improved understanding of biogeochemical processes with an emphasis on terrestrial ecosystems
- Development of observational techniques to monitor and assess biogeochemical feedbacks in the earth system
- Theory and model development for improving the representation of biogeochemical processes in comprehensive earth system models
Open PhD projects related to …
- Atmosphere & Ocean
- Biosphere & Ecosystems
- Soil & Below Ground

Requirements
We welcome applications from well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries. Applicants hold (or are about to receive) a Master of Science, German 'Diplom' or equivalent degree in natural sciences. Proficiency in English is required since English is the official language of the program.
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. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
How to apply
Application deadline for these fully funded PhD positions is 9 January, 2023. Top candidates will be invited to take part in our selection symposium (13-15 March, 2023).
