Germany: SCALUS - Marie Curie Initial Training Network (MCITN)

Overview

SCALUS is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (MCITN) and therefore focuses on the education of early stage researchers, so called ESRs, within their first four year's after obtaining a master degree. By joining SCALUS you will be working for three years in a full-time employment with top researchers in the field of storage systems (cluster, grid, and cloud storage). Depending on the position you choose (see the list of open positions below) you will be employed by one of the partners, which form this Marie Curie Initial Training Network. You will be a part of a joint research effort by all 16 partners and will cooperate with scientists across Europe. To enhance the cooperation as well as to develop your complementary skills you will also have the opportunity to attend summer schools, workshops, conferences, secondments, and internships.

Who can apply?

Early-stage researchers (ESRs) are defined as those in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers, starting at the date of obtaining the degree 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. Researchers supported by an ITN are normally required to undertake transnational mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when taking up an appointment.

Example A: a researcher has graduated with a first degree in biology in 2004 and would like to start her Ph.D. studies in 2007. She is eligible as an ESR within the ITN as she has less than 4 years of research experience and no PhD.

Example B: a researcher has already been working as a researcher in industry for two years since graduating with his first degree in chemistry. He would be able to benefit from participation in an ITN as an ESR even without pursuing a Ph.D. degree.


How to apply?
