For a formal application please include your CV, a letter of motivation, your transcript of records, and one or two letters of reference from previous supervisors or lecturers. Before sending these materials informal preliminary inquiries with a CV about the position and its availability are possible.
   
• An application through the International Max Planck Research School for Quantum Dynamics and Control IMPRS-QDC. General Information about the application procedure including deadlines can be found here. This graduate school is hosted by several institutions in Dresden, Wrocław, and Prague, including the MPI-PKS. If you would like to specifically work in our group, please state this explicitly in your application.

We are always happy to welcome new PostDocs to our group. Before applying for a PostDoc position please send a preliminary inquiry including your CV to awietek[at]pks.mpg(dot)de. There are several options to pursue a PostDoc at MPI-PKS in our group.

• Application for external funding programmes, like the Walter-Benjamin programme of the DFG or the Marie-Curie programme of the European Commision. This route requires preparing a research proposal but offers more independence and successful grant applications are a good option to advance your career. We will give you feedback and advice on writing in advance and support you in the process.
