Two Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions are available at the Institute of Computer Science (ICS), Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), Heraklion, Crete Island, Greece. These positions
are funded by the European Commission under the Marie Curie Initial Training Network Programme (project TransForm).

We address (pre-PhD) researchers with an MSc aiming at significantly improving their career perspectives from both the PUBLIC and PRIVATE sector.

The duration of the appointment is 3 years with a possibility of extension funded from other sources. Applications for smaller periods will also be considered. Applicants may also request to be considered as candidates for the PhD program at the Department of Computer Science, University of Crete, Greece.

RESEARCH TOPIC
--------------
The ESR will pursue research on concurrent computing
(with emphasis on the Theoretical Foundations of
Transactional Memory).

The recruited ESR will work in close collaboration with the other academic partners of the project:
* EPFL, Switzerland (Prof. Rachid Guerraoui)
* Technische Universitaet of Berlin, Germany (Dr. Petr Kuznetsov)
* Technion, Israel (Prof. Hagit Attiya)
* University of Rennes I, France (Prof. Michel Raynal)

and with the possibility of collaboration with researchers from the industry:
* Deutsche Telekom, Germany * Microsoft Research, Cambridge, UK * Sun Microsystems Labs, Massachusetts, USA * IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA

ELIGIBILY
---------
The recruited researchers should be, at the time of selection, in the first four years of their research careers (measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate). Also: * ESR should not already have a PhD and they should have the qualifications
to embark on a PhD program (i.e., s/he should have an MSc by the time
of the recruitment).
* ESR should be nationals of a country other than Greece or,
in case they are Greek, they should have legally resided
and have had their principal activities (work, studies, etc.)
in a country other than Greece for at least 3 out of the last 4 years, and
* ESR (regardless of their nationalities) must not have resided or carried out
their main activities (work, studies, etc.) in Greece for more
than 12 months in the last 3 years.

The positions are open until appropriate candidates are found. The next cut-off date is June 30, 2010.


FINANCIAL PROVISIONS
--------------------
Marie Curie fellows enjoy good salaries and working conditions, career development opportunities and work-life balance.
More specifically, the financial support of Marie Curie ITN
to the ESR includes: * a fair monthly living and mobility allowance,
* a yearly travel allowance (i.e., a fixed amount of money based upon
the direct distance between the location of origin of the researcher
and Heraklion, Greece, where FORTH-ICS is located),
* a career exploratory allowance (i.e., a single payment for attending job interviews,
additional courses, job fairs, etc.), and
* coverage of the expenses related to the participation of the ESR in research
and training activities (contribution to research-related costs, meetings,
conference attendance, training actions, etc.).


HOW TO APPLY
------------
Please send an e-mail to <faturu AT csd DOT uoc DOT gr> containing your curriculum vitae. Then, she will contact you asking for more documents if required.


GENDER EQUALITY
---------------
FORTH is an equal opportunity employer. Female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply. Panagiota Fatourou (the coordinator of TransForm) is a woman, as well as half of the project researchers. This identifies the extra sensitivity of TransForm to gender equality issues; all possible efforts will be made to increase participation of women researchers in the project.
