PhD Studentship within the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hardon Collider, Sweden: Physics and Astronomy

/ March 30, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Uppsala ATLAS group is part of the High Energy Physics group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and currently consists of three faculty members, one post-doctor and three graduate students. We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated PhD student with keen interest in experimental physics and competence within data analysis programs (e.g. C++ and ROOT). The PhD student will work on physics analysis of data from ATLAS and take part in the development of tools for distributed analysis on the grid needed for this purpose.

The PhD position is funded for four years, extendible to a maximum of five years including department duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching).

Scholarship Application Deadline:April 29, 2011

PhD Scholarships in Particle Physics at University of Southern Denmark, Denmark

/ March 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Centre for Particle Physics Phenomenology (CP3-Origins) and the Department of Physics and Chemistry at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense invite applications for two PhD scholarships. We expect the two positions to be filled in the area of strongly interacting theories beyond the Standard Model, collider phenomenology, astroparticle physics, cosmology and lattice field theory.
Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three or four years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three- or four-year period.
The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement of 1 October 2008 on salaried PhD scholars between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).

The successful candidate will be enrolled at this university in accordance with faculty regulations and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD Programme at the Universities (PhD order).The university encourages all persons interested in the position to apply, regardless of their age, gender, religious affiliation or ethnic background.
Application must be made in the form of a Declaration of Interest including the following:
• A letter stating your specific interest, motivation and qualifications for the project in question (max. two pages)

PhD Studentship in Theoretical Atomic Physics, Sweden

/ September 16, 2010 Leave a Comment

The department of Physics is located in the Albanova University center and has approximately 170 employees, 250 students at undergraduate level and 80 graduate students. There are four research subjects within the postgraduate program: Physics, Theoretical Physics, Medical Radiation Physics and Chemical Physics. These subjects span over several research groups with different research activities. Application can be done within four time periods during the year.

We seek candidates for a PhD studentship in Theoretical Atomic Physics. Our research falls within the area of atomic interactions at low temperatures. In particular we work within the following fields: formation of antihydrogen and collisions between antihydrogen and ordinary matter, universal properties of ultracold few-atom systems, and transport of cold atoms through so-called Brownian Motors. The PhD project will be within one of these areas, but its details will be decided together with the PhD student. The research will require analytical skills as well as proficiency with numerical calculations.

Requirements:
To be accepted as a PhD student in Theoretical Physics one should have studied at least four years at a University and have a BSc in Physics. These studies must include advanced courses in physics during one year and an advanced degree project (a detailed description of one in progress may do). We seek a candidate with analytical capacity and good skills in English.

Terms of employment:
A PhD education is four years (48 months). The 4-year PhD program includes at least 3 years of research and at most one year of course work. The position may be extended up to 1 year if up to 20 % teaching assistance or administration is included in the contract. During the beginning of the PhD education, the student receives a study grant (“utbildningsbidrag”) and towards the end of the education, the student acquires a PhD position (“doktorandanställning”). Envisioned starting date is January 1, 2011 (negotiable).

Applications
Applications should include a letter of intent describing your motivation for applying, a CV including information on previous education, a copy of the masters thesis (or “examensarbete”), other documents supporting the applicants competence and suitability for the position, and address, telephone number and e-mail of two reference persons. The application can be written in English or Swedish. Evaluations will be based on results on University courses, quality of master’s thesis (or “examensarbete”), references, interviews and the letter of intent.

Application Deadline: September 30, 2010
