PhD Positions
Graduiertenkolleg 2149
The DFG research training group “Strong and Weak Interactions - From Hadrons to Dark Matter” at the University of Münster, Germany, invites applications for various
(salary level TV-L E13, 75%)
These fixed-term positions will start on 1 July 2020 or later and are available for up to three years. Currently, the regular working time for full (100%) employment is 39 hours and 50 minutes per week.
The structure of the DFG-funded research training group (Graduiertenkolleg) is based on joint education and research undertaken by theoretical and experimental physicists working on nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics as well as computer scientists and mathematicians (http://www.unimuenster.de/Physik.GRK2149).
In relation to strong interactions, we aim for precision in experiments and theoretical predictions in the following areas of investigation: the transition from the quark gluon plasma into bound hadrons, the parton distributions in cold nuclear matter and the properties of mesons. In relation to weak interactions, we investigate more speculative questions beyond the Standard Model, especially those related to dark matter and neutrinos.
Applicants with a very good master's degree or diploma in physics are expected to submit the usual application documents (curriculum vitae, copies of transcripts and certificates) as well as two letters of reference and a letter explaining their motivation to join our research training group and their research interests.
The University of Münster is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the proportion of women academics. Consequently, we actively encourage applications by women. Female candidates with equivalent qualifications and academic achievements will be preferentially considered within the framework of the legal possibilities. We also welcome applications from candidates with severe disabilities. Disabled candidates with equivalent qualifications will be preferentially considered.
Applications should be sent, preferentially via email, by 24 April 2020 to the spokesperson of the research training group:
