Description
CERN is announcing a call for the creation grant scheme to encourage young and high-caliber doctoral students in particle physics research (including computing for physics) and permit them to obtain world class exposure, supervision and training within the ATLAS collaboration.
This special PhD Grant is aimed to graduate students preparing a doctoral thesis in particle physics (incl. computing for physics) to spend one year at CERN followed by one year support also at the home institute. Candidates may already have a thesis subject defined with their home university OR they may be looking for a thesis subject.

Scholarship
The Grant will cover 2 years funding of the PhD thesis, specifically one year at CERN at a rate of CHF 3,679 per month (approximately EUR 3,524) and one year at the home institute at a reduced rate.
