Doctoral Program in Information Science and Technology
APPLICATIONS 2010/2011
Our PhD Program has a duration of three to five years. In the first year the student should take four courses, and spend most time reading the literature and discussing ideas in order to write a Thesis Proposal.
In the following years the student should be totally focused in the research work and writing the final dissertation. This doctoral program was created to present a response to the current demand for high quality PhD researchers in Europe and to adapt the activities of advanced study and research to the current reality in the area of Science and Information Technology.

[Germany] PhD Fellowships in Elementary Particle Physics at Max Planck Institute
PhD Fellowships in Elementary Particle Physics at Max Planck Institute
The International Max Planck Research School `Elementary Particle Physics – Theoretical, Experimental and Cosmological Frontiers` (IMPRS EPP) is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute of Physics (Werner Heisenberg Institute) and the particle and astroparticle physics groups of the Ludwig Maximilian University Munich and the Technical University Munich. Since April 2005 the School has been offering excellent research opportunities to highly qualified doctoral students.
Research fields covered by the School from both an experimental and a theoretical perspective include high energy particle physics, astroparticle physics, and cosmology. The physics of strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics, symmetries and mechanisms for symmetry breaking, neutrino physics and neutrino astrophysics, supersymmetry, string theory, physics and technology of particle detectors and light sensors, dark matter, gamma-ray astrophysics, cosmic rays, and weak interaction physics are just a few examples of the range of topics under investigation. The students` own research is supplemented by an accompanying lecture program.
Regular seminars, workshops, and other joint events serve to broaden the intellectual horizon, stimulate interaction between IMPRS members, and provide valuable background knowledge on topics beyond the students` own research project.
Note that the IMPRS EPP is a school for PhD students only. Work on a Master/Diploma Thesis is not supported. Moreover, a Master/Diploma Thesis documenting at least about 6 months of research is required to be accepted.
Please submit your application through the APPLICATION FORM on at www.imprs-epp.de/admission.html.
Application deadline: Jun 21, 2010.
