Ideally, this is a common project carried out in one of these groups. Also, cooperations with industry partners might be considered. Applications are accepted for specific open positions (see <a title=\"open positions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.grs-sim.de\/about-us\/open-positions\/open-positions.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">here<\/span><\/span><\/a>) as well as speculatively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Individual research at the different laboratories and institutes in Aachen and J\u00fclich is complemented by common activities which, owing to the inherent cross-disciplinary nature of the simulation sciences, represent an essential part of the offers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The doctoral work is expected to take about three years, including the writing of the thesis. Candidates will be funded during this time at a level competitive with other leading doctoral programs. They are expected to contribute a limited amount of time to educational activities. The research salary will cover living expenses, housing, health insurance, pension plan, and taxes. Doctoral candidates in general have certain additional benefits such as reduced prices for public transport, access to museums, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The doctoral exam will be administered by RWTH Aachen University, with the certificate mentioning the German Research School for Simulation Sciences.
