7 PhD Scholarships in Theoretical Physics (Technische Universität Berlin)

The Research Training Group, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), and associated with the Technische Universität Berlin and its partner institutions, the Potsdam University, the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, and the Fritz-Haber Institute offers a platform for educating doctoral students in interdisciplinary research by applying and developing concepts for describing the collective dynamics of nonlinear dissipative systems chosen from three project areas:

Deadline: July 26th, 2012
A Hard matter: Nonlinear transport and quantum optics in semiconductors
B Soft matter: Collective dynamics and hydrodynamic interactions in complex fluids
C Biological Systems: Self-organization and non-linear waves in active media.

The projects are mostly theoretical in nature, except: project C1. For more information on the single projects, please consult the website: http://www.itp.tu-berlin.de/GRK1558.

The following projects offer free positions from 01.10.2012: A1, A2, A5, B1, and C2
