EU Postdoctoral Fellowships
(TMR Programme)

We invite applications for postdoctoral fellowships (one to two years) in theoretical, experimental physics (high energy physics, astroparticle physics, nuclear physics, synchrotron radiation and gravitational wave detection), and accelerator physics at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN.

Applicants must be nationals of an EU member state (excluding Italy), or an associated state, age under 35 and have a PhD degree (or equivalent level of education) or 4 years' full-time research activities at post- graduate level. Furthermore the candidate should not have carried out reaserch activities in Italy for more than 18 months in the last two years.

The Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati is part of the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare and is situated on a pleasant hill about 20km south of the centre of Rome. It is reachable within 40 min from Rome by train or in 5 min from the town of Frascati. Some 150 researchers work in the Laboratory on the different activities. The 1 GeV e+e- machine DAFNE (Phi factory) to study CP violation and hypernuclear physics is currently under commissioning.

More detailed information on the Laboratory activities can be obtained from the following contact persons:

Fellows will be employed under the EU's general conditions governing research training fellowships and will receive an allowance in ECUs per month to cover subsistence and mobility expenses, tax and social security contributions and cost of attending conferences, travel expenses, etc...

General information on selection procedure

The TMR EU program foresees individual application for fellowships, the Laboratory giving its agreement to a certain amount of applications to be sent to Bruxelles. The procedure should proceed as follows: the applicants will send their CV with two letters (or mail) of references to the secretariat (Miss C.D'Amato), together with a clear indication of the research program (to be discussed with the person

responsible for each activity). Then the Laboratory will select the applications to be presented at one of the next EU selection round, Those applications, signed by LNF authorities, will be sent to the applicants that will then send individually the forms to Bruxelles. All the material (forms, etc..) will be provided by LNF.
