PhD Positions in Atomic Physics at VU University in Amsterdam, Netherlands

PhD Research Scholarship in Precision spectroscopy in helium at VU University in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Scholarship Description: In the physics of light and matter group of the VU university in Amsterdam chair prof. dr. W.M.G. Ubachs) we have two openings for PhD research.

Position 1: Ultracold Helium atoms. Goal is to accurately measure transition frequencies in helium atoms, laser cooled and trapped in a long-lived metastable state, at a temperature of 1 microKelvin in an optical dipole trap, see our paper in Science, 196 (2011) for a first result. This work aims to improve experimental tests of QED theory of atomic structure, to deduce the nuclear charge radius of the alpha-particle and the helion (the helium-3 nucleus) and to measure the fine structure constant. PI: dr. Wim Vassen

Position 2: Frequency comb spectroscopy. This project also aims to test QED in helium atoms and ions. In this case excitation is from the ground state of helium and from the ground state of the helium-ion. This requires a frequency comb in the extreme ultraviolet part of the spectrum, which is generated by pulsed amplification and frequency upconversion of a femtosecond frequency comb laser, see PRL 063001 (2010). Excitation of helium atoms will be in a collimated beam, while the helium ion will be excited in an ion trap. PI: prof. dr. Kjeld Eikema

Study Subject(s):Precision spectroscopy in helium
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: LaserLaB VU university
Scholarship can be taken at: Netherlands

Eligibility:
We are looking for highly motivated students with interest in experimental atomic, molecular and optical physics, preferably with experience in either laser cooling and trapping, cold molecules,atomic and molecular spectroscopy, or related topics. A Diplom (MSc) degree in Physics, Applied Physics or another relevant field is a prerequisite. The positions are standard Dutch 4-year PhD positions, with full salary (up to a maximum of 2,610 euro gross per month). Applicants should send their CV along with a motivation letter. The positions are immediately available, but the latest starting date is April 2012. Therefore students who will complete their Diplom (MSc) in the coming months are also welcome to apply.

Their close friendship began in the aftermath of the nakbah of 1948 and evolved into a shared commitment to justice for Palestinians to be realized in part through support for excellence in higher education and scholarship.

Qattan Foundation in Palestine, Ibrahim Abu-Lughod helped found the Qattan Centre for Educational Research and Development, one of the Foundation’s core programs.

6 Doctoral Stipends in Research Training Group “Privacy” 2012, Germany

PhD Scholarships in Research Training Group “Privacy” at University of Passau, Germany

Study Subject(s):Philosophy and the Law Faculty
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: The DFG-Research Training Group
Scholarship can be taken at: Germany

Eligibility:
Applications to its interdisciplinary doctoral program from candidates with advanced language skills in German (DSH 2/TestDaF 4 or equivalent), an outstanding academic profile and an excellent, interdisciplinary research proposal are invited.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The Research Training Group focuses on the concept of ‘privacy’ due to its current societal and scientific relevance. An interdisciplinary analysis and its application to present challenges have not yet been undertaken. Until today, privacy has always been regarded as a residuum. Throughout the Research Training Group’s research activities, the private and its relation to the non-private will be considered as culturally, historically and socially formed. The Research Training Group will thus reconstruct the concept of privacy with the overall aim of a comprehensive theory of privacy, describing its parameters and interaction with other concepts. The structured academic program equally provides its graduates with core academic skills, thematic expertise and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary context. By means of further qualification the program supports participants’ personal development and helps them succeed in a competitive labor market. Supported by academic and non-academic supervisors, participants are enabled to complete their individual research projects quickly and successfully.
