AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking PhD positions in astroparticle physics, specifically focusing on WIMP searches, with a preference for universities in mainland Europe. NIKHEF in Amsterdam is highlighted for its research in astroparticle physics, particularly neutrino physics and the LHC experiment. Other notable projects mentioned include CRESST, located in Munich and Oxford, and CDMS in the US. Additionally, exploring projects related to neutrino physics, gravitational waves, or cosmic rays is suggested as they align closely with astroparticle physics.

Hi guys,

I'm in the final year of my undergraduate degree and am looking for PhD positions.

I would really like to take a project related to astroparticle physics (esp. search for WIMPS), and also I would like a position in mainland Europe.

Just hoped you might be able to give an idea of some universities that would fit these criteria.

Thanks for any replies,
kop442000.

The NIKHEF in Amsterdam has a good deal of research on astroparticle physics, although they focus on neutrino physics (through a project called Antaris) and the LHC experiment (through the projct called ATLAS). Furthermore, the institute has quite an international community. http://www.nikhef.nl/en/

Another project is CRESST, http://www.cresst.de/jobs.php , which is in munich and oxford.

There's also CDMS, which is in the US.

You might also want to take a look at projects on neutrino physics, gravitational waves or cosmic rays, which are a bit more "astro".
 
Thanks for the reply! I will check all those things out.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
