  Dear Colleagues,

  For the 6th time, the International Max-Planck Research School on
  Astrophysics (IMPRS) is soliciting applications for its PhD program.
  Located in the beautiful Munich-Garching area in southern Bavaria
  (Germany), the school offers a unique environment for graduate 
  students due to the presence of four internationally renowned 
  institutes which form the school:

   * The Max-Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics (MPE)
   * The Observatory of the University of Munich (LMU/USM)
   * The Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA)
   * The European Southern Observatory (ESO)

  In addition, Astro-particle physics groups at the Technical University
  of Munich are participating as associated partners.

  IMPRS offers a highly competitive PhD program, including lectures,
  seminars, and a research project supervised by scientists at one of the
  participating institutions. Since June 2004, the IMPRS on Astrophysics
  at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich is supported by the European 
  Commission and is a Marie-Curie early stage training site. Course language 
  is English. Students have access to ground and spaced based observatories and 
  instrumentation operated by the participating institutes as well as 
  supercomputers for advanced numerical simulations and theoretical studies. 
  Successful completion of the IMPRS program will be honored with an IMPRS
  certificate which supplements the doctoral degree (PhD) document awarded
  by the Ludwig-Maximilians University (or another university to be agreed
  upon before enrollment).

  Applications for the program are open to students from all countries.
  More details on the IMPRS program and the admission requirements can be
  found at the IMPRS website http://www.imprs-astro.mpg.de/

  The closing date for applications for the program starting in September
  2006 is December 1, 2005. Please apply by using the IMPRS application
  form available online at http://www.imprs-astro.mpg.de/admission.html

  Many thanks for your support.
