The IMPRS-ESM is a joint program by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and the Universität Hamburg (UHH). Our doctoral program offers structured supervision and ample opportunities for special scientific training. We strive to attract a diversity of talented students of all genders and from all nationalities.

Our academic focus lies on the advancement of our understanding of processes and dynamics in the Earth system at different temporal and spatial scales as well as our prediction skills.

Our program is open to applicants holding a Master’s degree (with written thesis) in physics, geophysical sciences (incl. meteorology and oceanography), ecology, mathematics, computer science, engineering, economics, or political science. Students currently still working on their MSc thesis are also encouraged to apply.
