Job description:
The Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in theoretical high-energy physics commencing 1 August 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Description of the scientific environment
The Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology group and the Niels Bohr International Academy, located at the Niels Bohr Institute, are involved in a wide range of research activities in theoretical high-energy physics, centered around quantum theories of gauge fields, gravity, cosmology and astro-particle physics. The most active research areas include modern approaches to scattering amplitudes, the gauge-gravity correspondence and the use of integrability to find exact solutions in strongly coupled quantum field theories. Weekly seminars and journal clubs as well as several workshops and conferences per year provide a stimulating research environment and excellent integration into the wider international community.
Project description
Applicants should have a solid background in quantum field theory, string theory and the gauge-gravity duality. The precise project within the aforementioned most active research areas will be formulated in collaboration between the successful candidate, the principal supervisor and the co-supervisor. The principal supervisor is Assistant Prof. Dr. Matthias Wilhelm (matthias.wilhelm@nbi.ku.dk), and the co-supervisor is Prof. Dr. Charlotte Kristjansen (kristjan@nbi.dk).
Job description
The position is available for a 3-year period and your key tasks as a PhD student at SCIENCE are:
- To manage and carry through your research project
- Attend PhD courses
- Write scientific articles and your PhD thesis
- Teach and disseminate your research
- To stay at an external research institution for a few months, preferably abroad
- Work for the department
Formal requirements
Applicants should hold an MSc degree in Physics (obtained before the start of the position) with outstanding results and good English skills. As criteria for the assessment of your qualifications emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant work experience.
Terms of employment
The starting salary is currently at a minimum DKK 330,817 (approx. €44,108) including annual supplement (+ pension at a minimum DKK 53,811). Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
Application Procedure
The application, in English, must be submitted electronically via
Please include
- Cover Letter, stating which PhD project you are applying for and detailing your motivation and background for applying for the PhD project.
- CV
- Diploma and transcripts of records (BSc and MSc)
- 3 reference letters (to be uploaded by the applicant in the application form, as “Other relevant material”)
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
The deadline for applications is 16 May 2021, 23:59 GMT +2.
