PhD positions: Experimental and Theoretical Particle Physics 1301 views

The International Max Planck Research School for Elementary Particle Physics (IMPRS EPP) announces the opening of applications for PhD positions in experimental and theoretical particle physics. The IMPRS EPP is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for Physics (Werner Heisenberg Institute) and the particle and astroparticle physics groups of the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and the Technical University Munich.

About the research:

• Research fields covered by the school from both an experimental and a theoretical perspective include high energy particle physics, astroparticle physics, and cosmology.
• The students’ own research is supplemented by an accompanying lecture program. Regular seminars, workshops, and other joint events serve to broaden the intellectual horizon, stimulate interaction between IMPRS members, and provide valuable background knowledge on topics beyond the students’ own research project.

Requirements:

• Applicants must have completed master’s study in physics with outstanding results
• Applicants must provide written master’s thesis as documentation of a research project lasting at least six months
• Applicants should be able to show very good proficiency in English.

Applications:

Submit application via the online application form with the following items:

• CV
• Academic records
• master’s thesis, in German or English, or a (preliminary) summary and abstract of this work
• 02 letters of recommendation, which will be transmitted from the referees to the MPP.
