(fwd) International Max-Planck Research School on Astrophysics - IMPRS Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 16:40:27 +0200 From: Barbara Mory <bmo@o21.xray.mpe.mpg.de> Subject: International Max-Planck Research School on Astrophysics - IMPRS Dear Colleagues, For the 4th time, the International Max-Planck Research School on Astrophysics (IMPRS) is soliciting applications for its PhD program. Located in the beautiful Munich-Garching area in southern Bavaria (Germany), the school offers a unique environment for graduate students due to the presence of four internationally renowned institutes which form the school: * The Max-Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) * The Observatory of the University of Munich (LMU/USM) * The Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) * The European Southern Observatory (ESO) In addition, Astro-particle physics groups at the Technical University of Munich and at the Werner-Heisenberg Institute for Physics are participating as associated partners. IMPRS offers a highly competitive PhD program, including lectures, seminars, and a research project supervised by scientists at one of the participating institutions. Course language is English. Students have access to ground and spaced based observatories and instrumentation operated by the participating institutes as well as supercomputers for advanced numerical simulations and theoretical studies. Successful completion of the 3 year program by meeting the requirements of the Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) leads to a doctoral (PhD) degree in natural sciences (rerum naturalium) awarded by LMU. Applications for the program are open to students from all countries. More details on the IMPRS program and the admission requirements can be found at the IMPRS website http://vsnet.imprs-astro.mpg.de/ The closing date for applications for the program starting in September 2004 is December 15, 2003. Please apply by using the IMPRS application form available online at http://vsnet.imprs-astro.mpg.de/admission.html In addition to this announcement we have a small IMPRS-poster available which we would ask you to print and to display for your students. The poster is available at http://vsnet.imprs-astro.mpg.de/images/IMPRS_Poster_2003.pdf Many thanks for your support.
