The International Max Planck Research School on
Earth System Modeling (IMPRS-ESM) offers doctoral program in Germany. Students
must hold a master’s degree or a German ‘diploma’ in the field of physics,
geophysical sciences, (incl. meteorology and oceanography), chemistry, ecology,
mathematics, computer science, engineering, economics, or political science.
The International students can apply for this program. The financial support is
offered as a stipend for three years of duration. The students are selected if
they are short-listed in the interview.
Study Subject(s): Research
topics are: critical transitions in the terrestrial components of the Earth
system, Effects of land use change on soil carbon stocks and climate,
Potentials and side-effects of afforestation for climate change mitigation,
Ice-age ocean circulation, Extreme Events at different spatial and temporal
scales, Thermodynamics of the Asian Monsoonal Circulation, Towards coupled data
assimilation in a climate model, The role of turbulent mixing in the ocean
circulation.
Course Level: This scholarship is for pursuing PhD degree level.

Scholarship Description: The IMPRS on Earth System Modeling (IMPRS-ESM) is a multi- and
interdisciplinary doctoral program that associates several German research
institutions. Students contribute to the development and application of
numerical models of different complexities, including natural aspects as well
as the human dimension. Through the development of integrated Earth system
models the IMPRS-ESM contributes to an improved understanding of the global
environment and the prediction of interactions and feed backs in between the
individual components of the Earth system.
