Fellowship in MSCA EuPRAXIA Doctoral Network

We are look for a dynamic, pro-active student who ideally has gained already hands-on experience in laboratory-based studies. Good analytical skills and an understanding of the fundamental concepts behind proton beam therapy will be important. A background in accelerator or laser R&D will be an asset, however, comprehensive training in all relevant areas will be provided.

Mobility requirement

Researchers can be of any nationality. They 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. One general rule applies to the appointment of researchers in a network:

At the time of recruitment by the host organisation, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date.

Short stays such as holidays and/or compulsory national service are not taken into account. As far as international European interest organisations or international organisations are concerned, this rule does not apply to the hosting of eligible researchers. However the appointed researcher must not have spent more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference deadline for submission of proposals or recruitment by the host organisation, depending on the action, in the same appointing organisation.

The EuPRAXIA Doctoral Network (EuPRAXIA-DN) is a new Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN), funded by the EU and the UKRI Guarantee Fund and offering 12 high level Fellowships between universities, research centers and industry that will carry out an interdisciplinary and cross-sector plasma accelerator research and training program for the new EuPRAXIA research infrastructure.

The network will develop a range of scientific and technical innovations and provide a cutting-edge interdisciplinary training that is expected to boost the career prospects of its Fellows.

Fellows will benefit from the following MSCA allowances:

• Monthly living allowance: 3,400 €/month. This is adjusted through the application of a country correction coefficient to the living allowance of the country in which the researcher is recruited and includes all compulsory deductions under national legislation, including any employer contributions. The country correction coefficients are listed in Table 1 of the MSCA Work Programme
• Monthly mobility allowance: 600 €/month
• Monthly family allowance, if applicable and depending on the family situation: 660 €/month.

All researchers will be recruited under an employment contract that includes social security coverage, pension and taxes.

Applications will be collected by the network coordinator (INFN) and then allocated to the respective host organization which will organize a panel interview. You can indicate in your application if you wish to apply also for other positions within the network and in this case agree to sharing your information with these additional organisations.
