1 is funded by the University of Trieste .

The 5-th studentship will be assigned for study and research on the project Pan-European training in computational cosmology: modelling cosmic structures, person in charge Stefano Borgani; the project is financed by the European Commission as Initial Training Network (ITN); the successful candidate will be hired under contract.  (The contract is available: a) to Italian citizens who have spent at least 3 years outside Italy in the past 4 years; b) to non-Italian candidates provided they have not been studying in Italy for more than 12 months in the past 3 years.)
