Job opportunities

The departments and project groups of the Institute for High Energy Physics offer timely and fascinating diploma and PhD projects to interested students. Moreover, we offer topics for students of physics at the Vienna University of Technology.

HEPHY members are also affiliate with the Vienna doctoral college "Particles and Interactions (DKPI)". More information here.

Useful information for scientists from abroad is provided at the Welcome Center of the Austrian Academy of Sciences - OeAW. The Welcome Center is a central service and information platform to facilitate the stay in Austria for international guests, researchers as well as for their families. We will be happy to support you with information on topics related to your stay and to assist you with your first steps in Austria. If you have questions, please contact any of the advisors at the Welcome Center.

Doctoral Studies

PHD STUDENT POSITION (F*M) on detector development and readout electronics
We are offering a PhD student position on detector development and readout electronics
Supervisor: Thomas Bergauer

Master's Theses

Interpretation of Searches for New Physics
What do the LHC results really tell us? Have we searched for new physics thoroughly enough? Have we missed anything?
Supervisor: Wolfgang Waltenberger
Search for dark matter production at Belle II
Low mass dark matter can be produced in electron-positron collisions and manifest itself in a variety of processes, from the direct production as decay product of dark forces to the interference in rare decay processes of standard model mesons involving invisible final states.
Supervisor: Gianluca Inguglia
Reinterpreting LHC resonance searches for new physics
What does data from the LHC, the world's most powerful accelerator, tell us about variety of new physics scenarios? By reproducing the steps as performed by the experimentalists in day to day analysis, you will learn about the power of current LHC data to constrain new physics scenarios.
Supervisor: Alberto Escalante del Valle
