The Max Planck Society (MPG) and the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) jointly offer outstanding postdoctoral researchers in the fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, earth sciences and life sciences a prestigious four-year appointment in a unique research environment. The fifth application round will be announced in autumn 2025.
The cooperation between the MPG and the WIS offers talented researchers the opportunity to participate in innovative projects, benefit from the expertise of two renowned institutions and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective subjects. The German-Israeli Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme thus supports scientific cooperation and interdisciplinary research in both countries.
The Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme is designed for four years, with half of the time spent at the MPG and half at the WIS. The country split allows the postdocs to benefit from the expertise and resources of both institutions and to gain a comprehensive and broad research experience.
The selected candidates will receive a four-year appointment, which will allow them to fully concentrate on their research projects. The employment contracts are concluded according to German guidelines and take into account the postdoc’s level of experience.
