University of Hamburg

Doctoral Studies and Research on the Physics of Nanostructures

German version
The aim of this doctoral program is to improve graduate education through advanced lecture courses and to focus the activities of various institutes of the University of Hamburg in the field of nanostructure research.The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG - German Science Foundation) and the City of Hamburg support the program which started in 1996. Funding is available for a total of 12 doctoral grants for a period of two years (or at most three years) and one postdoctoral research grant for a maximum of three years. Graduate students working in the field of nanostructures, but funded outside the program, also participate in and benefit from the doctoral program.
