Calls occur twice per year (at start of P2 and P4). Please find information about the internship and apply here.

Send an email to Luís Silva (luis.silva@ist.utl.pt) with a resumé, a letter with your research interests also stating if you prefer theory/simulation or experimental work, and the name of three referees that we can contact to obtain further informations about you. If we can identify opportunities that fit your profile we will contact you. Also please browse through these webpages and our publications to identify the topics that might fit better your interests.

We are always looking for bright, young, and highly motivated students that wish to pursue a PhD degree, with a background in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.

If you fit this profile, and you want to join or to visit for a long period our team to work on the research topics of GoLP, send an email to Luís Silva (luis.silva@ist.utl.pt) with a resumé, a letter with your research interests also explicitly stating if you prefer theory/simulation or experimental work, and the name of three referees that we can contact to obtain further informations about you. Also please browse through these webpages and our publications to identify the topics that might fit better your interests.

You should also apply to the IPFN Doctoral Program Applause, funds several PhD student positions per year, stating specifically that you wish to work at GoLP.

Look up the advertised thesis subjects in the Physics Department webpage or get in touch with a particular potential supervisor of GoLP (listed as PIs here). Check the research webpage for more information about what we do. In these cases, we may be able to offer a fellowship (Initiation to Research) depending on your CV, abilities and commitment. Note that this involves spending a significant amount of your weekly schedule at GoLP working with the epp team or the X-GoLP team.

Typical (but not limited to) candidate profile:
– You are in the 5th year, only a few or no courses left behind, and with an expected final average >= 16/20 marks
– You can spare at least 15-20 hours per week to the placement work program (more in the case of a fellowship)
– You have a strong interest in theoretical and/or computational physics and you have a compatible know-how
– You are considering pursuing a PhD degree or seeking a job related to experimental physics

GoLP opens periodic calls for undergraduate research placements (“estágios”), normally at the beginning of a semester. These are widely advertised, and they are your opportunity to enroll with us. Applications consist of: your CV, academic record, and a research interests statement, eventually followed by an interview. These placements last for a minimum of 6 months, and can be extended or evolve into an MSc Thesis depending on mutual interest and performance. We do not provide fellowships (“bolsas”) for this kind of placements (“estágios”).

Typical (but not limited to) candidate profile:
– You are in the 3rd or 4th year, only a few or no courses left behind, and with an average >= 16/20 marks
– You can spare at least 3-4 hours per week to the placement work program
– You have a strong interest in the topics of research of GoLP and you have a compatible know-how
– You are motivated, willing to learn and to work in a team
– You are looking for an opportunity to start working in the “real world” of research
