      <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
