The exact content of the project and duration needs to be determined in consultation with the Research Project Supervisor

Number of placements available: 2 per semester.

Prerequisites

Undergraduate level in Physics and Mathematics.
Minimum GPA 3.4

At Leiden University, I worked with physics researchers on materials for computing applications. To have that opportunity as a freshman, it really taught me that you can get involved and make a difference early on.

Faculty of Science / Leiden Institute of Physics

The Leiden Institute of Physics (LION), consists of the Huygens-Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory, and the Institute-Lorentz. The LION is located next to the other Science Institutes of the University in the Bio-Science Park, a situation that favours interdisciplinary research projects. Its main responsibility is the education and training in research in physics of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. In addition, it is responsible for the teaching of physics on the BSc and MSc level in the Faculty of Science at Leiden University.

The research done at LION can be divided into different domains:

Theoretical Physics (TP)
Quantum Matter and Optics (QMO)
Biological and Soft matter Physics (BSM

The various research groups in LION have an outstanding international reputation. They offer an excellent environment for a highly recognised education in physics.
