Accelerators Validating Antimatter physics (AVA): 15 PhD positions 1701 views

Accelerators Validating Antimatter physics (AVA) is the project within the H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network scheme. The project is offering 15 Fellowships to bright, talented, highly motivated early stage researchers (ECR) that will be employed by the different beneficiary partners across Europe.

Benefits:

• Possibilities for enrolling into a PhD programme
• wide ranging training programme that will have advantage of both local and network-wide activities
• Excellent salaries will be offered

Starting date for project AVA: Most positions will start in spring/summer 2017

Requirements:

• Applicant must be (at the time of recruitment) in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and have not yet been awarded a pHD degree.
• Applicants (Researchers) can be of any nationality and must comply with the rule for mobility.
• Researchers are normally required to undertake trans-national mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when taking up their appointment.
• Applicant (Researchers) must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organisation for more than a year in 3 years immediately prior to the reference date (at the time of recruitment).
