Offer Description
Welcome to the Research Fellowship : Experimental Physics.
The Research Fellowship Programme is aimed at PhD holders in the fields of experimental physics which have up to 6 years’ experience after obtaining their PhD degree. Research Fellowships are intended for PhD graduates looking to work in a research group.
Please remember that you are applying for a programme and not for a specific job. If selected, you will have a free choice of research group. You may express your motivation for applying during the interactive online application process, and/or attach a separate motivation letter. As our online application system only allows for alphanumeric values, an attachment may provide you with a greater freedom of expression.
Candidates holding a PhD (or about to hold one), whose specific field of interest is solely theoretical physics or in the fields of applied science and engineering, should consider to apply for the 'Research Fellowship: Applied Physics and Engineering' or ‘Research Fellowship: Theoretical Physics’, respectively.
