7 positions for PhD students with half-time employment,
payment according to TVL E13 AnwTV HU (HU Berlin)

in the field of experimental and theoretical elementary particle physics and
astroparticle physics. The graduate program will integrate different fields of research
in the experimental and theoretical aspects of particle physics according to the
challenges emerging from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Main research
topics are data analysis with ATLAS, astroparticle physics with IceCube and
H.E.S.S., LHC phenomenology, quantum field and string theory as well as lattice
gauge theory.

We are looking for excellent doctoral students with a university degree (diploma or
master) from Germany or abroad.
The positions are offered from July 2013 at the earliest, located at Berlin with the
restriction of the final approval of funding by the DFG. The contract will be limited
to maximal 3 years in total.

Applications are to be handed in by May 10th , 2013 to the scientific coordinator of the
graduate school Dr. Martin zur Nedden, Institut für Physik, Humboldt-Universität
zu Berlin, Newtonstrasse 15, 12489 Berlin (nedden@physik.hu-berlin.de). The
application is must be submitted electronically via our wepage, an additional
postal application is optional:

The application should include C.V., copies of certificates of degrees, a letter of
motivation specifying the field of research interest and the names and contact
address of two referees. Please arrange that the letters of recommendation are sent
directly by the referees to the coordinator.

Further information about the graduate school and the process of application are
available on the web page.
We especially encourage the application of qualified women. Handicapped
