Doctoral Researcher Network
The Doctoral Researcher Network at the MPI in Marburg is part of the Doctoral Researcher Network of the Max Planck Society Max Planck PhDnet. Its major task is to offer opportunities to optimize the working environment for graduates enabling them to maximize their scientific achievements and to provide a platform for exchange among doctoral researchers at the institute.
Each of the departments of the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology has a PhD representative. These four internal PhD representatives are the contact persons for doctoral researcher matters within the institute. They organize a number of activities to enhance the exchange between doctoral researchers, postdoctoral researchers, group leaders, and other faculty members from all departments of the institute.
- Monthly "Stammtisch"
- Welcome breakfast for new doctoral researchers
- Annual MPI "Sommerfest"
In addition, the representatives stay in contact with the Directorate on topics concerning doctoral researcher matters.
Additionally, one doctoral researcher is the external PhD representative of the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology. She or he is the official link between the PhDnet and the institute and attends the annual Max Planck PhDnet meeting to keep up with recent society-wide changes.
