About Casimir and doing your PhD in the Netherlands.
The Casimir Research School (Casimir), established in 2004 by the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at the TU Delft and the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) at the University of Leiden, aims for an improved education of young researchers towards a PhD degree. Both Universities have decided to take on this demanding task jointly, which creates the opportunity for students to be exposed to a larger variety of research fields and international experts, as well as to organize jointly advanced courses and workshops. About 270 PhD students, 130 postdocs and 100 (assistant, associate and full) professors participate in our research school.
The PhD positions we offer are full-time salaried research positions. The normal duration of a PhD position in the Netherlands is four years. During your PhD research you are expected to take specialized courses and contribute to teaching. Please check our website for further information.
