📣 PhD student position 📣

Join our institute in Potsdam, Germany! We offer an ERC-funded PhD student positions at the @mpi_grav in Potsdam.

We are particularly interested in hiring creative, proactive and motivated candidates who flourish at working in a vibrant, interdisciplinary and synergistic group. Successful candidates will join the research group “Symmetries in Gravity and Amplitudes” with the Quantum Gravity and Unified Theories division.

The PhD research will focus on mathematical structures of scattering amplitudes, more specifically amplitudes associated with Riemann surfaces as they appear in string theory.

The successful applicant will conduct their research projects at the AEI in Potsdam, and they will have to enrol and receive their PhD degree from the Humboldt University in Berlin. The expected duration of the PhD is three to four years. Applicants are required to have a Master degree by the start of the PhD program
