[sdpd] Post-doctoral vacancies in crystallography

[Armel Le Bail <alb...@cristal.org>]

The Italian National Research Council (CNR), through IC (Institute of 
Crystallography) is offering some fellowships mainly focused in the 
microstructural characterisation of different classes of materials with 
particular attention to one of the following research areas:

Ø      powder diffraction techniques on polycrystalline materials and peak 
profile analysis;
Ø     transmission electron microscopy (TEM);
Ø     high resolution x-ray scattering techniques
Ø     computational crystallography
Ø     SIR MIR, SAD MAD techniques.

These fellowships will be offered on behalf of the "Marie Curie Development 
Host Fellowships Programme", available under the Fifth Framework Programme 
funded by the European Community.

The fellows will be hosted at CNR IC, an institute of the Italian National 
Research Council, where they will join a group of researchers and PhD 
students. Fellows will be expected to attend and to give seminars for being 
fully integrated with the scientific activities of the Department, having 
thus the opportunity of joining one of the major European group in 
crystallography, with an outstanding research reputation.

The realisation of new laboratories, will become a preferential pivot for 
the integration of the new competence into the activity of the research 
group, favouring a stable scientific collaboration with the fellows, 
particularly by exploiting the competencies in the field of material 
characterisation of the new researchers of the permanent staff.

The duration of each fellow's project is between 6 and 24 months and 
fellows must be nationals of a Member or Associated State or able to 
provide proof of having resided in one of the Member States at least for 
the last five years prior to their selection. In case of non EU/Associated 
State national, he/she is not eligible if he/she was residing in Italy for 
more than two years in the last five years immediately prior to the 
selection date.

The scientific activities will be co-ordinated by Prof. Carmelo Giacovazzo

The indicative gross monthly subsistence allowance will be 3800 Euro plus 
some allowance for travel.

CNR-IC is located in Bari, Italy

Eligibility Criteria for Fellows[1]

The fellows selected by the hosts must meet the following criteria at the 
time of

selection:

  1. Nationality or residence

Fellows must be nationals of a Member or Associated State (see lists of 
Member and Associated States in section 3.1), or be able to provide proof 
of having resided in Member States at least for the last five years prior 
to their selection by the host (e.g. national residing permits; employment 
contracts, university registration, etc.). Fellows should ensure that they 
are able to fulfil the immigration and visa requirements for the Member or 
Associated State in which the host institution is located.

2. Mobility

Fellows may not carry out their fellowship in the country of their 
nationality and in his/her recent centre of  activity. Hosts cannot appoint 
researchers who have carried out their normal activity  (work, studies 
etc.) in  the country where the research is going to take place for more 
than 12 months in the two years immediately  prior to their selection by 
the host. For Marie Curie Training Sites, fellows may not carry out their 
fellowship in the country where they normally pursue their doctoral 
studies. Additionally, nationals of an Associated State may only carry out 
their fellowship in a Member State. In addition, fellows can only carry out 
their fellowship in a host institution located in a Community Less-Favoured 
Region.

3. Age limit

The fellow must be of age 35 years or less. However, allowance, in this 
respect, is made for time actually served in compulsory military or civil 
service and for childcare with a maximum of 2 years per child for the 
actual time spent off work.

Member States

There are 15 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, 
Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, 
Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Associated States

There are 15 Associated States: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, 
Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, 
Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

The negotiation of an agreement with Switzerland has been finalised and is 
expected to enter into force in 2001. Likewise, the negotiation of an 
agreement with Malta is currently underway.
