Call for Fully Funded PhD Positions 2025

At the end of 2024, the MCML PhD Matchmaking Program was announced for the third time, and the response was overwhelming. We received nearly 1,200 applications from talented international students—an incredible increase compared to previous years.

This year, we are excited to award twelve new PhD positions across LMU and TUM, further strengthening our commitment to fostering outstanding research in machine learning and AI.

We are grateful for the immense interest in our program and look forward to welcoming the next generation of PhD candidates to MCML!
