Do you want to take on an adventure studying fundamental physics and pursue novel research at the intersection of particle physics and cosmology?

Join me to work on the project related to interconnections between dark matter production and baryogenesis, phenomenology of multi-component dark sectors and much more!

The NCBJ graduate school website contains all the necessary information for admission procedure, courses etc. and some additional useful information.

Some information about Theoretical High Energy Physics group at NCBJ can be found here. The environment is friendly and very international with English being the default language within the group. The offices of the Department are located on the Ochota campus not far from the city centre, neighbouring the Physics Department of the University.

Qualification requirements:

Required:

• M.Sc. in particle/astroparticle physics or cosmology
• Good English skills in writing and speaking
• Passing the admission examination to graduate school (more info)

Preferred:

• Some experience in conducting research, preferably in the topics of BSM physics, dark matter or physics of the Early Universe
• Experience in coding and/or numerical methods

Application:

The application, consisting of a curriculum vitae and a brief description of research interests, should be sent to me with the subject “Phd 2022”.

Life in Warsaw:

• It is a vibrant cosmopolitan city. Bit noisy sometimes, but also with quiet park areas, charming Old Town and a lot of things to do

• Cost of living: lower than in Western EU countries, but perhaps bit higher than you’d expect. Typical prices: monthly rent studio apartment (~1500-2000 PLN), monthly public transportation (~100 PLN), lunch at cafeteria (~20 PLN), full dinner at a restaurant (~40-60 PLN)

• Language: English is more than sufficient to live and get by - though learning some Polish words can provide useful :)
