The MPG–WIS Joint Postdoctoral Program requires applicants to first contact prospective host researchers at a Max Planck Institute and at the Weizmann Institute to define a collaborative project and secure support letters (including confirmation of available funds). Applications must include a detailed CV, at least three recommendation letters (one from the PhD advisor), a research statement (up to 2 pages) outlining the joint project, and a plan for splitting the four-year position equally between MPG and WIS with scientific justification for the schedule. After submission, applicants receive a confirmation email containing unique upload links to share with referees so they can submit their letters.
