Entry requirements:
  •  Master’s degree / equivalent in a related field
  •  B2 level of English
  •  Good track record of publications related to the topic of the intended research

Research supervisor:
Prof. Sergey Troitsky
PhD, DSc, Corr. member of RAS

Supervisor’s research interests:
  •  Origin of high-energy radiation in the Universe (cosmic rays, gamma rays and neutrinos).
  •  The Universe as a laboratory of particle theory (axions, axion-like particles, neutrinos, dark matter etc.).
  •  Particle theory beyond the Standard Model.

Research highlights:
  •  Research at the intersection of particle physics and astrophysics.
  •  Work with real observational and experimental data. but in connection with particle-theory problems. Supervisor’s specific requirements:
  •  Particle physics (at the Master level).
  •  Astrophysics (at the beginner’s level).
  •  Statistics (to work with data).
  •  CORSIKA; GEANT welcome.
