The INFN Fellowship Programme 2016/2017 offers 20 (twenty) positions for research activity in Experimental Physics.
Eligible candidates are non-Italian citizens. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree (or an equivalent qualification), obtained no more than eight years prior to the call deadline, i.e. on or after November 15, 2006. This time limit may be extended in case of:
- Maternity (18 months per each child born before or after the Ph.D. award, up to a maximum of 4.5 years);
- Paternity (effective time of leave taken for each child born before or after the Ph.D. award, up to a maximum of 4.5 years);
- National Service (effective time of leave taken after the Ph.D. award);
- Long-term, i.e. over 90 days, illness (effective time of leave taken for each incident occurred after the Ph.D. award).
The total elapsed time since the award of the PhD should not in any case surpass twelve years and six months. The reasons for an extension of the time limit must be duly documented only in case of a successful application. Failure in providing the appropriate documentation will result in the ineligibility for the appointment.
Candidates who are preparing their doctoral thesis are eligible to apply; however they must have obtained their Ph.D. degree before taking up their appointment with INFN.
Applicants with a Ph.D. of eight years or over eight are not eligible.
The annual gross salary is € 40.000,00. Each fellowship is initially granted for one year and may be extended to a second year. Travel tickets to and from INFN sites will be reimbursed at the beginning and at the end of the fellowship; also lunch tickets will be provided for working days.
