POSTDOC POSITIONS AT THE CIRM

(FONDAZIONE BRUNO KESSLER) IN TRENTO

I) Postdoc Fellowships

The CIRM offers two annual Postdoc Fellowships for researches in the field of Mathematics in the year 2010-2011. Each fellowship amounts to Euro 23500 gross per year (taxes should be deducted), which will be pro-rated in 12 monthly installments, and requires the presence in the CIRM Institute (address Via Sommarive 14, Povo, Trento).

The applications must arrive not later than September 10th, 2010  at the address Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica, Via Sommarive n. 14 - Povo, 38123 Trento by ordinary mail or via electronic mail to the address micheletti@fbk.eu.

The Comitato Direttivo of CIRM will make a selection of winner applicants, ranking them in consecutive order. On the basis of this list of selected candidates, the CIRM will make offers to award the fellowships (as "contratto di collaborazione coordinata e continuativa a progetto").

These fellowships are incompatible with other full-time employment or with similar fellowships.

Winners must communicate their acceptance of the fellowship within 15 days from the time of receipt of the communication of CIRM. If one of the chosen candidates turns down the offer, the CIRM will proceed to make an offer to the next candidate on the list.

The activities connected with the new enrollment, except for particular requirements to be agreed upon with the winners, will start preferably on November 2^nd, but possibly also before or after, in any case before November 30th, 2010.

Applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships may also be submitted before the official awarding of the Ph.D. title (or equivalent), but under a solid guarantee that the title will be awarded before the last deadline (November 30th, 2010). In any case the title should have been awarded before the beginning of the activity at the CIRM.

Applicants must send by ordinary mail, or possibly by electronic mail to the address micheletti@fbk.eu , the following documents:

1. A curriculum vitae including surname, first name and postal address (e-mail address too) chosen to correspond with CIRM, together with three recommendation letters.

2. A detailed Research Program with explicit reference to either a Professor of Trento University, or a

member of the Comitato Direttivo of CIRM. The applicant's program must be related to the Research Group of the Host Professor.

3. A list of publications.

4. Copies (possibly, electronic files) of recent articles and preprints.

5. A copy (possibly, electronic file) of the Doctoral Thesis; in case of submission of a preliminary version

a statement by the Ph.D. advisor should be attached.

The Comitato Direttivo of CIRM will make a selection of winner applicants, ranking them in consecutive order, and with a preference for Research Programs connected to the research activity at CIRM and at the Università di Trento. It is expected that the results of the selection process will be communicated to the applicants within October 5th, 2010.

If one of the chosen candidates has not yet been awarded the Ph.D. title within the date agreed upon for commencing the activity at the CIRM, the Comitato Direttivo will proceed to make an offer to the next candidate on the list.

The fellows will have access, free of charge, at the FBK Cafeteria in Povo.

CIRM will provide the necessary logistic support: office space and computer facilities, access to the library and to other facilities of the Department of Mathematics of the Università di Trento and of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler.
