DK-PI PhD Studentship for International Students in Austria , and applications are submitted till January 6, 2015. The Vienna Doctoral Program Particle and Interactions (DK-PI) calls for applications for PhD studentship in the field of experimental and theoretical particle physics. The studentship includes full financial support on a 12-months-basis for up to 3 years. Students from all countries are welcome to apply for such DK-PI studentship. Among equally qualified applicants women will receive preferential consideration. Since DK-PI doctoral students will have to be enrolled at one of the Vienna universities, they have to fulfill the criteria for doctoral studies of the two universities.

Description
‣ The DK-PI PhD Studentship program is a research, education, and training oriented initiative supported by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF).
‣ Its purpose is to provide a high profile international research environment for highly qualified PhD students, coupled with a thorough monitoring and advisory framework, and a broad educational system that includes introductory and specialized physics courses as well as soft skill courses.
‣ Its aim is that the students acquire the knowledge needed for becoming competitive participants in the international particle and nuclear physics research community and are able to start their own successful career.
Eligibility
‣ Students from all countries are welcome to apply for such a DK-PI PhD Studentship .
‣ The DK-PI seeks to increase the percentage of women in physics and therefore specifically invites applications by women.
‣ Among equally qualified applicants women will receive preferential consideration.
‣ Since DK-PI doctoral students will have to be enrolled at one of the Vienna universities, they have to fulfill the criteria for doctoral studies of the two universities.
‣ For this they need in particular a completed Master (or equivalent) degree. In addition they should have very good English language skills.
Selection Criteria:
‣ Since the number of places in the DK-PI doctoral program is limited, there is an application and selection procedure for interested students which accounts for their academic and previous scientific achievements, and their expected potential for future research work.
