OFFER DESCRIPTION
The next call will be open from 7th October 2021, until 18th November 2021!

The International Max Planck Research School for Advanced Methods in Process and
Systems Engineering (IMPRS ProEng) is a graduate school jointly run by the Max Planck
Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems (MPI) and the Otto von Guericke
University Magdeburg (OVGU). In our structured PhD program, talented junior scientists have
the opportunity to obtain a doctorate under excellent research conditions, a multidisciplinary
environment and close scientific supervision.

Through an innovative concept of combining cutting-edge mathematical and systems-oriented

engineering research driven by challenging questions arising from the analysis, design, and
optimization of chemical and biochemical processes, the school has been bringing together
students from various engineering areas, natural sciences, and mathematics. We investigate
problems of process and systems engineering, characterized by both high complexity and high
practical relevance. For this purpose, advanced theoretical methods and tools, provided by
systems theory and systems engineering, are combined closely with powerful experimental
methods and techniques.

A well-balanced extensive curriculum designed to train both scientific and soft skills qualifies
our students to lead the next generation of successful scientists and professionals.
Furthermore, the IMPRS ProEng supports doctoral candidates in conducting part of their
research at our international partner institutions.

Our working language is English and the doctoral degree is awarded by the Otto von Guericke
University.

All our doctoral students receive a standard working contract (OVGU) or support contract
(MPI) with payment and benefits in accordance with a public collective agreement (TVL or
TVöD). Your salary is based on TVL/TVöD E13 75%.

Requirements

We are looking for students with an excellent Master Degree (or degrees equivalent to the
German Diploma) in the areas of chemical engineering and bioengineering, systems and
control theory and mathematics. You should have solid expertise in the area of research of the
research group you apply for. Recent activities in the respective research field are highly
welcomed. Fluent English is mandatory. Candidates should be highly motivated and ambitious,
be able to work independently and also as team players.

The Max Planck Society and the Otto von Guericke University are 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 and the Otto von

they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply.

Applications should be submitted via our online application form. Required documents are: CV,
motivation letter, all your university degrees and transcripts of grades (in German or English),
two reference letters, and proof of English proficiency.
