Training activities
The ESR will be enrolled at the XXX Cycle of the research doctorate in Physics held at the University of Roma La Sapienza

Eligibility for Marie Curie Early Stage Researchers:
Research fellows, at the time of selection must in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree (Diploma/MSc) which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the research training is provided, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.
Research fellows must not have resided or carried out their main activity (research work, education/studies, etc.) in Italy for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment.
