Welcome at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry
Focus on the Earth
Our research is dedicated to the study of global biogeochemical cycles describing the interactions between the biosphere, the atmosphere, the geosphere and the entire climate system. We aim to better understand how living organisms - including humans - exchange basic resources such as water, carbon, nutrients, and energy with their environment and how this affects ecosystems and climate at regional to global scales.
Max Planck Research Groups: Open Call
The Max Planck Society is continuing to offer talented young scientists the opportunity to lead their own independent Max Planck Research Group (MPRG) at a participating Max Planck Institute of their choice.
The next open topic call for MPRG Leader positions is expected to start on September 9th 2024. All scientists who hold a doctoral degree are eligible to apply. There are multiple positions available. The deadline for applications is October 14th 2024.
We support the initiative Weltoffenes Thüringen!
We are committed to ensuring that people from different backgrounds live and work together respectfully.
