ERCIM offers Post-Doctoral Fellowships

ERCIM has launched the 1999-2000 fellowship programme which will enable young scientists to work on a challenging problem as fellows of leading European information technology research centers.

The fellowships are of 18 months duration, spent in two institutes. As in the last year, the fellowship focuses on the research topics of the ERCIM working groups. Aside from researchers from academic institutions, scientists working in industry are strongly encouraged to apply.

Research topics:

• Computer Graphics
• Constraints
• Control and System Theory
• Databases
• Digital Libraries
• Electronic Commerce
• Environmental Modelling
• Fluid Mechanics
• Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems
• Health and Information Technology
• Parallel Processing
• Programming Language Technologies
• User Interfaces
• World Wide Web

Applicants must:

• have a PhD degree (or equivalent) or be in the last year of the thesis work
• be fluent in English
• be discharged or get deferment from military service
• start the grant before October 1999

The fellow will receive a monthly allowance for the whole period of 18 months which may vary depending on the country. Costs for travelling to and from the institutes will be paid. In order to encourage the mobility, a member institution will not be eligible to host a candidate of the same nationality.

The Call is divided into two stages: applications are invited to meet either the
deadline of 30 November 1998
or that of 31 May 1999.
