IMPRS-HD has been established 2004 and started its academic activities 2005.
Six Heidelberg astronomy-related institutes take part in IMPRS -
the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA),
the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK),
the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ARI),
the Landessternwarte Koenigstuhl(LSW),
the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (ITA), and
the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS).
The IMPRS-HD is an independent part of the HGSFP (Heidelberg Graduate School for Physics). IMPRS-HD and HGSFP are part of the Graduate Academy of Heidelberg University, supporting PhD students in various university-related aspects.
A poll published 2010 by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) concluded that Heidelberg is Germany's most popular university for international doctoral students.
IMPRS-HD aims to offer outstanding research and training opportunities with excellent instrumental, observational, and theoretical research facilities.
Research topics within IMPRS-HD cover a wide range of topics in astronomy and astrophysics.
IMPRS-HD is open for students from all countries.
Several fellowships are offered per year via IMPRS-HD.
We invite highly-qualified students who aim for a doctoral degree in the area of astronomy or astrophysics/cosmic physics to apply.
Dead line for next term applications (fall 2025) was November 1, 2024.
Interviews were held until Feb. 10-14, 2025.
Our next call for applications (for term fall 2026) will be July 2025.
