The Italian Minstry of Education, University and Research assigned 5,000,000 euros to the continuation of the program “Rita Levi Montalcini program for young researchers” to the benefit of young Italian and foreign scholars and experts, doctorate graduates in research or equivalent for not more than 6 years and employed permanently abroad in research or didactic activities for at least three years, aimed at the realization of research programmes offered autonomously at Italian universities, through the agreement of contracts.
The main goal is to incentivate the quality and efficiency of the university system.
Universities will be able to stipulate nonrenewable temporary employment contracts of three years’ duration, with holders of doctorates in research or equivalent qualifications, or for the sectors involved in medical specialization diplomas who have received, for at least three years, also non consecutively, research grants.
Applications must be presented exclusively over the Internet at the web site http://cervelli.cineca.it, within the 3rd of March.
