Non-university research establishments – such as the Max Planck Society (MPG), Helmholtz Association, Leibniz Association (WGL) and Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (FhG) offer an excellent research environment to conduct your research. The institutes that do not have the right to award doctorates themselves collaborate with universities for that purpose. They offer PhD students scholarships and/or (usually fixed-term) contracts of employment – or a combination of the two. However, support is also possible in the form of regular research posts, which are especially typical of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (FhG).

Many research institutes publish their job vacancies in online job portals and on their websites. Here you can search for research institutes by the research fields.
