CLOE - Training to complexity: multidisciplinary approaches to rural and mountain sustainable development and conservation is an interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral Doctoral Programme developed and coordinated by the University of Genoa, as sole beneficiary, in collaboration with a network of host academic and non-academic organisations. CLOE is co-funded by the EU and developed by the University of Genoa in collaboration with academic and non-academic host organisations.
Combining historical, environmental and legal perspectives, CLOE training adopts a multidisciplinary approach to mountain and rural sustainable development and conservation.
CLOE will support top-tier ESRs working on 4 closely related topics:
- mountain areas and heritagisation processes (T1);
- mountain conservation, cultural landscapes and conflicts (T2);
- coming back to the mountains (T3);
- mountain areas and environmental risks (T4).
Who?
Candidates can be of any nationality and age, provided that they respect all the following eligibility rules:
- hold a degree that would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in Italy;
- be Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs), i.e. at the recruitment date be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree;
- respect the MSCA “mobility rule”, i.e. not have resided or carried out their main activity in Italy for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately preceding the recruitment date (compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays and time spent under a procedure to obtain refugee status under the Geneva Convention are not taken into account for the calculation);
- fit in with the research areas of the call for applications with their research proposals
What?
UniGe will recruit the researchers under a 36 months Research Fellowship (Assegno di Ricerca – AdR, art. 22 L. 30/12/2010, n. 240) which will comprise:
- a living allowance, corresponding to the gross salary (employer/employee) paid in monthly instalments to fellows, inclusive of all social security coverage, contribution to pension funds (gestione separata INPS) and unemployment indemnity;
- a mobility allowance for fellows’ expenses linked to their mobility (i.e. relocation, family and travel expenses);
The monthly gross salary, including living and mobility allowance, will be of 2.205,66 euro.
An insurance coverage is foreseen, according to Italian law provisions. The contract (AdR) will specify rights and obligations of the ESR and the arrangements relating to confidentiality and intellectual property rights.
Moreover, each CLOE fellowship will include a contribution to costs needed to carry out research projects (e.g. consumables, contribution to travel expenses for secondments, short visits and conferences participation, publications, consumables and visas, if needed).
The human resources policies of UniGe are guided by the general principles and requirements of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
Researchers will be provided with an adequate working space, taking into account personal specific needs or disabilities.
UniGe has an Equal Opportunities Committee and a Guarantee Committee for equal opportunities, the enhancement of the well-being of workers and against discrimination in order to guarantee a workplace free from unlawful discrimination and harassment and fair practices and behaviour at work.
Deadline: 30 June 2022.
