<div>Dear all,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking for a PhD student to work with me on a DFG
project at TU Dresden, Germany, and the call for applications is
closing soon (30.06.2025)!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The formal terms are as follows. The position is limited to 3
years as part of the DFG project “Progress through Principles:
An Epistemology of Foundational Assumptions Guiding Contemporary
Physics”. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term
Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz -
WissZeitVG). The position comprises 65% of the full-time weekly
hours [this is the rate at which you get paid — roughly
speaking, 65% of someone’s full salary]. The position offers the
chance to obtain further academic qualification (usually PhD).</div>
<br>
The Project examines the heuristic role of guiding principles in
foundational physics. Further information about the project is
available at
