The newly established Doctoral Program "Hadrons in Vacuum, in Nuclei and Stars" in the branch of Theoretical Physics of the Institute of Physics at the University of Graz (Austria) advertises

Positions for Doctoral Students in Theoretical Hadron Physics.

The Doctoral Program is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF (Fonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung in Österreich). It cooperates with partners at the Physics Department of the University of Basel (Switzerland) and the Institute of Physics and Theoretical Physics of the University of Tübingen (Germany) within the European Graduate School Basel-Tübingen. The thesis work has to be done on one of the research projects which focus on issues of quantum chromodynamics in the field of hadronic physics. The PhD theses will be supervised by Profs. R. Alkofer, C. Gattringer, C.B. Lang, W. Plessas, or W. Schweiger, see also http://physik.uni-graz.at/itp/doktoratskolleg/
