Student and Postdoc Positions open!
We are presently offering
Diploma and Doctoral positions for students,
as well as
Postdoc positions. We are open to applicants with research interests
in any of the areas pursued by our group, but our main focus is observational studies at
(sub)millimeter wavelengths, in particular with APEX.

Introduction
Welcome to the homepage of the Millimeter and Submillimeter Astronomy Group at the
Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie!
We are actually not as narrow-band as the name suggests: Our wide-ranging research interests involve
observational work from meter wavelengths into the infrared and two groups in the
MPIfR Submillimeter Technology Division
are building
heterodyne receivers
for molecular spectroscopy and
wideband bolometer systems
for continuum mapping.
Together with the
»I. Physikalisches Institut der Universität Köln
and the
»Radioastronomisches Institut der Univerität Bonn,
we now have a Sonderforschungsbereich entitled
»"Die Entwicklung der Interstellaren Materie: Terahertz-Spektroskopie im Weltall und Labor"
("The Evolution of Interstellar Matter: Terahertz-Spectroscopy in Space and Laboratory").
