The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is highly interested in hosting up to two independent Max Planck Research Groups.
We invite you to work with us and apply for a position as Max Planck Research Group Leader.
Applications will need to be directed to the Max Planck Society. Detailed information as well as application instructions can be found in the official announcement: https://www.mpg.de/career/max-planck-research-groups/applications.
With this call for applications, MPG und Technische Universität München (TUM) combine again their respective career opportunities to a highly attractive career option for international top talents: Successful candidates will be offered a Max Planck Research Group Leader position accompanied by the excellent research conditions in a Max Planck Institute, and additionally - in case of interest - also the opportunity to apply for a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at TUM with doctorate granting rights and career options via Associate to Full Professor according to the TUM Faculty Tenure Track system.
Tenure track options may also be possible with other universities on an individual basis. In addition, the MPG also considers outstanding Max Planck Research Group Leaders when hiring new directors.
The successful candidates will be offered a Max Planck Research Group for a period of five years at a participating Max Planck Institute of their own choice. This includes a W2 position equivalent to assistant or associate professor level and additional resources for research positions, budget, and investments. The cumulative amount of funding is competitive with top class start-up packages of international career development programs. Start of funding is in 2021, with a lead-time of up to three months.
Excellent research and teaching is irrespective of gender. However, the MPG and the TUM still lack female scientists and hereby explicitly welcome applications from highly skilled women in all disciplines. The MPG and the TUM Munich Dual Career Office provide support for dual career couples and families.
Furthermore, the MPG and the TUM strives for gender and diversity equality. Therefore, applications from all genders are welcome.
