The Instituut-Lorentz, established in 1921,
is the oldest institute for theoretical physics in The Netherlands.
Together with the experimental groups in the Kamerlingh Onnes
and Huygens Laboratories
it forms the Leiden Institute of Physics.
The Instituut-Lorentz participates in
the Dutch Research School of Theoretical Physics.
This national research school offers a comprehensive program of postgraduate education. Graduate students and postdocs interested in joining the
Instituut-Lorentz are encouraged to apply directly to one of the faculty members
