Ph.D. Student Position at the University of Würzburg (ATLAS)
A doctoral position will be available within the Research Training Group 2994 `Particle physics at colliders in the LHC precision era' starting in February 2026.
The Research Training Group (RTG) is a DFG-funded doctoral program offered jointly by the groups working on Theoretical Particle Physics, Gauge/Gravity Duality, and Experimental Particle Physics at the University of Würzburg. The Ph.D project will be located in the experimental particle physics group which does experiments at the Large Hadron Collider LHC (CERN) within ATLAS, and carries out physics analysis both in the fields of Vector boson scattering, top pair plus X production and in the precision determination of the W-mass.
The Chair of Physik und ihre Didaktik is looking for student assistants and research assistants to supervise school students in school laboratories as part of our various research projects.
Supervising the school laboratories can either be credited as the module ‘Teaching and Learning Laboratory Supervision (Physics)’ (2 ECTS) in "Freier Bereich" or remunerated within the framework of an employment contract accordingly to the amount of work involved.
