Delta ITP grants three new research projects

27 November 2017

Every year the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics expects to fund several PhD and postdoc positions, assigned to those research projects that best serve the general objectives of the Delta ITP initiative. The proposed projects should strengthen the Delta ITP cohesion, and should be applied by scientists from at least two of the three institutes. This year, 2 PhD and 1 PD research project were granted.
.

For this call, a total of ten research proposals were admitted; 6 PhD and 4 PD proposals. 

An external and representative selection committee evaluated and ranked the proposals, based on the standard FOM grading procedure (1 representing excellent, 5 representing adequate) Besides quality also the expected added value and synergy for the Delta ITP consortium was weighted. This evaluation was then presented to the Delta ITP executive board who decided, based on the ranking and the available budget, that it would be most optimal to award 2 PhD and 1 postdoc proposals this year. 

Postdoc Position

Holography for Dirac nodal loops in ZrSiS  - Henk Stoof (UU), Jan Zaanen (Leiden), Koenraad Schalm (Leiden) and Umut Gürsoy (UU).

PhD positions

Disorder: The multifractal bridge between strings and experiment - Vladimir Gritsev (UvA), Cristiane Morais Smith (UU), and Miranda Cheng (UvA)

The microphysics of cosmic inflation, one feature at a time - Ana Achucarro (Leiden) , Jan Pieter van der Schaar (UvA)
