The NIKHEF theory group offers the possibility to study for a Ph.D. degree. An overview of the research that takes place inside our group may be found here. There are on average about 4 to 5 Ph.D. students in the group, involved in research ranging from string theory to QCD, from supergravity modelbuilding to finite temperature lattice field theory.
Although the Ph.D. is primarily a research-oriented 4-year degree, students receive a considerable amount of graduate level teaching during the first years. This is organized in the form of three sets of topical lectures per year at NIKHEF, and a yearly winter school in Nijmegen lasting two weeks (both in cooporation with the Dutch Research School Subatomic Physics). In the course of their studies graduate students usually go to a couple of summer schools abroad.
Due to Dutch law in regards to the Ph.D. degree, a Ph.D. student must have a formal affiliation with a professor at one of the universities, not necessarily a staff member. Some of our staff members do however hold professorships as well, but even if not, this is not a problem in practice. A limited number of grants to cover living expenses are available from the Dutch research organization FOM. These usually involve some teaching duties at affiliated universities.
Next to the excellent physics environment, the city of Amsterdam offers a rich cultural experience. NIKHEF is located in the southeast of Amsterdam, in the Amsterdam Science Park. See here for general information about the lab.
If you are interested in Ph.D. study in the NIKHEF theory group please contact either the group leader Eric Laenen or any member of the group working in your field of interest. There are no tuition fees.
