[Todos] PhD student positions in Theoretical High-Energy Physics at CERN PH-TH

[Gaston Giribet]

Hola,

Quería hacerles saber del siguiente anuncio sobre una posición para un 
estudiante de doctorado en el grupo de Físia Teórica de Altas Energías del 
CERN. El anuncio, abajo.

Un saludo,
Gaston,

> We are happy to announce two ESR (early stage position, PhD student) 
> positions at CERN, Physics Department, Theory Unit funded by the 
> "MassTeV" Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (ERC). Their 
> research areas should be relevant to the project research goals, namely 
> investigating the most fundamental aspects of particle physics models 
> and gravity at high energies, and establishing the connection between 
> these findings and experiments. Typical questions that will be addressed 
> are: What is the origin of mass for the mediators of the weak 
> interactions and its connection with the masses of quarks and leptons? 
> Why this mass is hierarchically different from the Planck scale which 
> makes gravity so weak compared to the other three known fundamental 
> interactions described by the current Standard Model of particle 
> physics? Why this enormous mass hierarchy is quantum mechanically 
> stable? What is the theory that describes physical laws at TeV energies 
> which will be explored in the near future by the Large Hadron Collider 
> at CERN? The work of the students will be supervised by either Ignatios 
> Antoniadis, Gia Dvali or Christophe Grojean.

> As CERN cannot deliver diploma, the applicant will need to be enrolled

> In addition to being paid by the European Union, successful students

> The two studentships will start in the Autumn of 2009. Applications

> <christophe.grojean en cern.ch> by March 31st, 2009. The applications 
> should include a detailed CV with a list of the courses attended in the

> pursuing a PhD programme in theoretical high energy physics. The 
> applicants should also arrange for 2 letters of recommendation to be 
> sent.

> The selection will be completed by April 30th.
