4 Early Stage Researcher Positions
GREENET is an Initial Training Network (ITN) Marie Curie project that is
focused on the analysis, design, and optimization of energy efficient
wireless communication systems and networks. It will create a
fully-integrated and multi-disciplinary network of 17 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) working in 10 first-class institutions distributed in 7
European countries. The consortium is formed by 3 Universities, 3 Research
Centers and 4 Private Companies. This Network will offer to a group of newly
recruited ESRs a cross-sectorial environment to shape their long-term
research view and get fundamental methodological tools on various research
fields (such as, cooperative communications, cognitive networks and network
coding).
The positions offered within the project are the following:
- 2 positions in the Technical University of Catalonia-UPC-BarcelonaTECH,
Spain.
- 2 positions in the NCSR Demokritos, Greece.

ELIGIBILITY
- The recruited researchers should be, at the time of selection,
in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers
(measured from the date when they obtained the degree which would formally
entitle them to embark on a doctorate).
- ESR should not already have a PhD and they should have the
qualifications to embark on a PhD program.
- At the time of selection by the host organization, researchers
must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies,
etc.) in the country of their host organization for more than 12 months in
the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment. Short stays, such as
holidays, are not taken into account.
- ESR (regardless of their nationalities) must not have resided or
carried out their main activities (work, studies, etc.) in the host country
for more than 12 months in the last 3 years.
DURATION
The fellowship is awarded for a period 3 years. The ESR will have a regular
contract with the same rights and obligations as any other staff member of
the host institution. Candidates should start within 3 months of the
acceptance of the fellowship.
TRAINING AND BENEFITS
The Initial Training Network includes advanced scientific training, career
development activities, workshops and other training initiatives for the
initial research career of the involved ESRs. The ESRs will be committed to
pursue the PhD degree during their work within the project, and they will
have available all the doctorate program courses offered by the academic
partners.
The training activities support the career development of new researchers by
providing a variety of courses including project management, leadership
skills, communications skills, grant writing, business development,
intellectual property rights and others.
Marie Curie ITNs provide competitive financial support to the ESR including:
- a competitive 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 the host institution),
- 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.)
