The Center for NanoScience (CeNS) is inviting applications for PhD and Postdoc Positions and Short Term Fellowships. Fellowships are available for highly motivated doctoral and postdoctoral candidates who are interested in multidisciplinary research and want to join our collaborative network of nanoscientists.
The Center for NanoScience (CeNS) was founded in 1998 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich as one of the first nanoscience networks worldwide. Today, CeNS crosslinks the work of more than 100 senior and junior scientists and 260 PhD and master students. The CeNS members share their extended interdisciplinary knowledge of physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and pharmacy to promote progress in nanosciences and nanobiosciences.
Applicants whose first language is not English are usually required to provide evidence of proficiency in English at the higher level required by the University.
