About this position

LMU Munich and partners in Germany are preparing a major DFG-funded Research Unit, RING: Rotations in Physics, Geophysics, and Geodesy, focused on measuring tiny fluctuations in the Earth’s rotation using ring laser technology. The project brings together research in geophysics, geodesy, seismology, quantum optics, and metrology, with applications to Earth rotation, navigation, seismic monitoring, and atmosphere-solid Earth coupling.

The announcement states that the research unit will offer 15 positions in total: 14 PhD positions and 1 postdoc. The unit is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for four years, with an opportunity for extension. The project involves around ten institutions in Germany, including LMU Munich, the University of Bonn, BKG, TUM, GFZ Potsdam, KIT Karlsruhe, the University of Hamburg, the University of Hannover, TU Berlin, and the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell.

At the time of the post, the positions are to be advertised soon, so no formal application deadline or portal is yet provided. Interested candidates should monitor the LMU news page and the LinkedIn announcement for the individual calls once they are published.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with interests in Earth science, physics, precision measurement, and related computational or observational methods. The post does not specify language-test waivers, tuition details, or salary amounts.

Funding details

The Research Unit RING is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) with four million euros for up to four years, with an opportunity for extension. The post announces 15 positions in total: one postdoc and 14 PhD positions. The positions are part of a funded research unit, but stipend/salary details are not provided in the post.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in geophysics, geodesy, seismology, quantum optics, or metrology. The post indicates 14 PhD positions and one postdoc in a DFG-funded research unit; no specific degree, GPA, or language requirements are stated in the post. Research experience relevant to high-precision measurements, ring lasers, or Earth system science would likely be advantageous, but this is not explicitly listed.
