Apply now!
The MPI FKF is participating in this call as a host institute.
To support talented scholars early in their career, (up to 7 years after the PhD; family breaks will be taken into account), the Max Planck Society invites applications for Free-Floating Max Planck Research Groups (MPRG).
Successful candidates will be offered their own Max Planck Research Group at a participating Max Planck Institute of their own choice for an initial period of six years. They will enjoy a world-class research environment at a Max Planck Institute with state-of-the-art infrastructure, administrative support, and the intellectual freedom to pursue an original research project.
The total allocation for a Max Planck Research Group amounts to up to 2.7 million euros for the initial six years. Start of funding is October 2025 at the earliest. It includes a German W2 position (equivalent to an assistant or non-tenured associate professorship), resources for the hiring of scientific staff and a generous and flexible budget for equipment and consumables.
