The Walther-Meißner-Institute for Low Temperature Research (WMI) is operated by the Commission for Low Temperature Research of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW) . The Commissions (Research Groups) of the Bavarian Academy are set up in order to carry out long-term projects which are too ambitious for the lifetime or capacity of any single researcher, or which require the collaboration of specialists in various disciplines. At present there are 36 Commissions with more than 300 employees. |

The Walther-Meißner-Institute (WMI) hosts the Chair for Technical Physics (E23) of the Technische Universität München (TUM) with the director of the WMI at the same time being Ordinarius at the Physics Department of TUM. The Walther-Meißner-Institute for Low Temperature Research (WMI) carries out research projects at low and ultralow temperatures and supplies liquid helium to both Munich universities. The research program of WMI is focussed on fundamental and applied research in the field of low temperature solid-state physics with the main focus on superconductivity and superfluidity, magnetism and spin electronics, mesoscopic systems and nanotechnology, quantum information processing, as well as on the general properties of metallic systems at low and very low temperatures. It also conducts applied research into methods of generating and using low temperatures. With respect to materials the activities of WMI are focused on superconducting and magnetic materials, both in bulk and thin films. |

The individual research groups of WMI offer attractive research opportunities for bachelor, master and
Ph.D. students, as well as postdoctoral fellows.
