Ten 3-year PhD positions of HIDDeN ITN are open for application, with starting dates this coming fall.
The candidates will work on particle theory and phenomenology and/or astroparticle physics including e.g. neutrino, dark matter, axions, dark energy, or BSM physics, and will be hired by one of the European beneficiaries of the network at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, France), Heidelberg Univ.

All nodes, e.g. beneficiaries and partner organisations, will contribute to the training and the research effort will focus on collaborations throughout the network. The positions include at least a long secondment in another European beneficiary, plus shorter stays in our partner organisations: at least at one major world laboratory and at one of our private sector partners.
