The Max Planck Society strives for gender equality and diversity. The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. Queries may be directed to Dr John Kennedy () and Dr Stefan Kluth (). Information about the MPCDF may be found on the internet at www.mpcdf.mpg.de.
