<b style="font-size: 10pt">Helmholtz-Weizmann Research School on Multimessenger astronomy</b><br>
<b style="font-size: 10pt">About the school: </b><span style="font-size: 10pt">The school aims at bringing highly qualified and motivated graduate students to the forefront of the field of Multimessenger astronomy through a world-class international training
environment. PhD students will work with leading scientists in the field </span><span style="font-size: 10pt">and benefit from their</span><b style="font-size: 10pt"> </b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 10pt">complementary expertise in theory
and experiments involving the various messengers. Collaboration between students and researchers at the partner institutions is facilitated through a lively exchange program. The professional training of students includes data science as a supporting component
of the school. Furthermore, the school offers a number of individual measures to promote career development. Depending on the primary location (Germany or Israel), the PhD will either be earned at the Humboldt-University Berlin, at the University of Potsdam
or at the Weizmann Institute of Science. </span><br>
<b style="font-size: 10pt">The research field: </b><span style="font-size: 10pt">Multimessenger astronomy, the exploration of the Universe using information from a multitude of cosmic messengers, including </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 10pt">electromagnetic
radiation, neutrinos and gravitational waves, has led to several groundbreaking discoveries during the last few years with significant contributions from the partner institutions. Through the development of better theoretical understanding, novel ways to combine
the data and access to most sensitive instrumentation, members of the school will be optimally trained and positioned in this emerging field. </span><br>
<b style="font-size: 10pt">Partners of the school</b><span style="font-size: 10pt"> are DESY and Weizmann institute of Science, as well as the Humboldt-University Berlin and University Potsdam. The school is receiving significant funding </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 10pt">through
the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association.</span><i style="font-size: 10pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman""> </span></i><br>
<font size="2"><b>Admission: </b><span>Each year approximately 10 students from countries around the world are admitted to the school. The anticipated start of the PhD work is October 2019. </span><br>
<span style="font-weight: bold">Deadline for application:</span><span> April 14th</span><br>
