Our group is located in Haifa (Israel's third largest city of ~300k inhabitants, with a larger metropolitan area of ~1 million) in northern Israel, in the Technion - Israel institute of technology. Haifa is a port city located on top of historic Mt. Carmel overlooking the Haifa Bay Area, and is a highly multicultural and multi-religious city and is the world center for the Baha'i faith. It offers access to nearby Carmel forest hikes and sandy beaches.
Haifa beaches on the Mediterranean are only ~15 mins ride from the lab, and the city is famous for its food, coffee shops and bars. English is an official language in Israel and is a second language spoken by almost everyone, making Israel a great place for international studies. Tel Aviv is only an hour train ride away, and Jerusalem a two-hour ride away.
The Technion is one of Israel's largest universities and hosts ~15k students, including international student programs at all levels. For interested candidates, Israel also offers several highly competitive and prestigious scholarships for graduate and postdoctoral research. German researchers can also apply to the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship for a research stay with us.
