PhD positions in Theoretical Physics at University of Amsterdam

Are you interested in doing original research in String theory - A theory that unifies all particles and forces in nature, including gravity, in a way consistent with the laws of quantum mechanics and relativity?

String theory is the most promising theory that unifies all particles and forces in nature, including gravity, in a way consistent with the laws of quantum mechanics and relativity. String theory answers fundamental questions about the symmetries of nature, the quantum behaviour of black holes, the existence and breaking of supersymmetry, and the quantum treatment of singularities. In string theory all the forces and particles emerge in an elegant geometrical way, realizing Einstein's ultimate dream of building everything from the geometry of space-time.

What are you going to do?

You are expected to:
do original research in this field under the direction of one of the faculty members in the group;
use mathematical tools on a daily basis to attack fundamental problems in theoretical physics;
participate in the many seminars by internal and external speakers as well as journal clubs and group activities;
collaborate with other PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers and other faculty members.
