“Free science is as natural as free breathing.” - Lise Meitner
The Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.) is a world-leading, independent, non-profit research organization with the goal to promote cutting-edge basic research. Within 84 Max Planck Institutes over 24,000 employees pursue basic research in broad areas of life and natural sciences as well as humanities, social sciences and law and have a strong interest in innovative and interdisciplinary research areas.
The successful candidates will be offered a Lise Meitner Research Group at a suitable Max Planck Institute for an initial period of six years plus one additional year for parental leave. The funding package includes a W2 tenure track position (equivalent to assistant / associate professor), resources for scientific staff and running costs, as well as a start-up package. Upon successful tenure evaluation, latest five years after the start of the group, the W2 position and financial support will be continued. For particularly outstanding group leaders, however, this evaluation can also be carried out at any time beforehand. Further career development is possible including consideration for a Max Planck Director position within the Max Planck Society.
Qualifikationsprofil:The Max Planck Society invites outstanding applicants to apply for tenure track Lise Meitner Research Group Leader positions. The appointments will be made in partnership with suitable Max Planck Institutes according to the applicants’ research topics. With the Lise Meitner Excellence Program, the Max Planck Society expressly aims to attract and promote the careers of outstanding female scientists who are at an early stage of their scientific career and have a documented track record of independent and innovative research.
Benefits:The purpose of the Lise Meitner Excellence Program is to increase the number of excellent women scientists in the Max Planck Society. Therefore, the program primarily focuses on the recruitment of outstanding women scientists, though it is open to all applicants (for details, see Lise Meitner Excellence Program: FAQs ). Furthermore, the MPG is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
