UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI TRIESTE


PhD in PHYSICS (21st Cycle)


The University of Trieste announces the availability of 14 three-year fellowships as part of the PhD Program in Physics (21th Cycle). Six fellowships will be funded by the University central administration. Eight additional fellowships will be funded by national research agencies, that will award the fellowships with the goal to offer advanced training in areas of strategic interest where personnel resources are currently scarce. It should be emphasized that award of a doctoral fellowship by a given agency implies no commitment to hire the student at the end of the PhD program.


All of the 14 fellowships are open to EU citizen, as well as to non-EU citizens currently residing in EU-countries. The 8 (6 in the original "call for applications" plus 2 in a updated version) additional doctoral fellowships described in what follows are also open to non-EU citizens currently residing in non-EU countries.:
