Bursary Description
PhD student position: theoretical particle/nuclear physics in Finland
Application deadline: 16 March 2024
The QCD theory group at the Department of Physics of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has an opening for a fully funded PhD student position starting in August/September 2024. Our main research interests are small-x physics, out-of-equilibrium field theory, parton distributions and perturbative QCD processes, Monte-Carlo event generator development, hard and electromagnetic probes and hydrodynamical modeling of heavy ion. The position filled in this call is focused on small-x physics/high energy QCD.
The successful candidate will also join the Centre of Excellence in Quark Matter granted by the Research Council of Finland to our local QCD-theory and ALICE groups.
Interested applicants should send their CV, transcript of study records (unofficial English translation) and a motivation letter directly to heikki.mantysaari@jyu.fi (CC: tuomas.v.v.lappi@jyu.fi). Alternatively, you can arrange for 1-3 letters of recommendation to be emailed to the same addresses.
