MSc positions

We live in fortunate times, where there are still many fundamental unsolved problems in astrophysics, while technological progress allows new observations, which may make some of them solvable. Now is the time to attack the most puzzling challenges posed to us by the Universe.

Join Doron Kushnir's group to study explosions and extreme stars of the Universe. We use theoretical and computational tools to interpret state-of-the-art observations, aiming at resolving fundamental problems in astrophysics. 

Particle physics data analysis / Particle physics detectors

A standalone project that will be part of the real work at the lab.

M.Sc. in obsevational astrophysics, instrumentations, and methods.

Theoretical high energy astrophysics research

Development of novel concept for radiation detector for physics and civil (medical, homeland security) applications

Theoretical high energy physics: string theory, field theory, gravity, black holes, relations to stat. mech., condensed matter and quantum information systems.  

Strongly correlated electrons, frustrated magnetism and the quantum Hall effect

0-1 positions for M. Sc. students in theoretical high-energy physics, working on quantum field theory, string theory and/or quantum gravity

Theoretical particle physics, high-energy astrophysics, and cosmology.

A position for an M.Sc project is available focussed on studies of cosmic explosions using the new facilities at the Weizmann Observatory in Neot Smadar, as well as new instruments in Chile.

Searches for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics in the data collected by the ATLAS detector.

Please contact me for more details.

Studies of Dark Matter and Neutrino interactions, using local setups and the XENON experiment. Includes hardware, data analysis, statistical inference, software tools and other aspects, according to personal preference. 

Master in phenomenology, HEP, particle physics theory with interface to quantum science at the precision frontier 

We study processes in plasmas subjected to high-energy deposition: conversion of electric energy to heat and radiation, turbulence,  fast penetration of magnetic fields into plasmas, and plasma rotation. For diagnosing the plasma we develop fast, high-resolution spectroscopy of radiation in the visible, U.V., vacuum UV, and x-ray regions. We have close collaboration with major universities and institutions in the US and Europe.
