A four-year postdoctoral programme jointly conducted by the Max Planck Society in Germany and the Weizmann Institute in Israel. The programme offers the opportunity to conduct research at two locations in Germany and Israel.
The postdoctoral programme established jointly by the Max Planck Society and the Weizmann Institute is an international research opportunity for outstanding early-career researchers. The programme is based on collaboration between the two institutions in Germany and Israel and aims to draw on the advantages of different research environments.
The programme runs for 4 years, with 2 years of research expected at the Max Planck institution and 2 years at the Weizmann Institute. However, the allocation of research time may be adjusted according to the scientific requirements of the proposed research.
The programme covers a broad range of interdisciplinary research fields and aims to generate new insights by drawing on the expertise and research facilities of both institutions. Although specific limitations apply to the research areas, the framework is designed to promote collaboration.
Benefits include financial support from Weizmann during the stay in Israel and a salary in line with German postdoctoral employment guidelines during the stay in Germany. An annual €3,000 allowance is also provided for independent research travel.
