Post-doctoral vacancies in crystallography

The Italian National Research Council (CNR), through IC (Institute of 
Crystallography) is offering some fellowships mainly focused in the 
microstructural characterisation of different classes of materials with 
particular attention to one of the following research areas:



Ø      powder diffraction techniques on polycrystalline materials and peak 
profile analysis;

Ø      transmission electron microscopy (TEM);

Ø      high resolution x-ray scattering techniques

Ø      SIR ? MIR, SAD ? MAD techniques, molecular replacement

Ø      crystallography computing



These fellowships will be offered on behalf of the "Marie Curie Development 
Host Fellowships Programme", available under the Fifth Framework Programme 
funded by the European Community.



The fellows will be hosted at CNR IC, an institute of the Italian National 
Research Council, where they will join a group of researchers and PhD 
students. Fellows will be expected to attend and to give seminars for being 
fully integrated with the scientific activities of the Department, having 
thus the opportunity of joining one of the major European group in 
crystallography, with an outstanding research reputation.

The realisation of new laboratories, will become a preferential pivot for 
the integration of the new competence into the activity of the research 
group, favouring a stable scientific collaboration with the fellows, 
particularly by exploiting the competencies in the field of material 
characterisation of the new researchers of the permanent staff.



The duration of each fellow's project is between 6 and 24 months and 
fellows must be nationals of a Member or Associated State or able to 
provide proof of having resided in one of the Member States at least for 
the last five years prior to their selection. In case of non EU/Associated 
State national, he/she is not eligible if he/she was residing in Italy for 
more than two years in the last five years immediately prior to the 
selection date.

The scientific activities will be co-ordinated by Prof. Carmelo Giacovazzo



The indicative gross monthly subsistence allowance will be 3800 Euro plus 
some allowance for travel.



CNR-IC is located in Bari, Italy

Eligibility Criteria for Fellows[1]



The fellows selected by the hosts must meet the following criteria at the 
time of

selection:



1. Nationality or residence

Fellows must be nationals of a Member or Associated State (see lists of 
Member and Associated States in section 3.1), or be able to provide proof 
of having resided in Member States at least for the last five years prior 
to their selection by the host (e.g. national residing permits; employment 
contracts, university registration, etc.). Fellows should ensure that they 
are able to fulfil the immigration and visa requirements for the Member or 
Associated State in which the host institution is located.



2. Mobility

Fellows may not carry out their fellowship in the country of their 
nationality and in his/her recent centre of  activity. Hosts cannot appoint 
researchers who have carried out their normal activity  (work, studies 
etc.) in  the country where the research is going to take place for more 
than 12 months in the two years immediately  prior to their selection by 
the host. For Marie Curie Training Sites, fellows may not carry out their 
fellowship in the country where they normally pursue their doctoral 
studies. Additionally, nationals of an Associated State may only carry out 
their fellowship in a Member State. In addition, fellows can only carry out 
their fellowship in a host institution located in a Community Less-Favoured 
Region.



3. Age limit

The fellow must be of age 35 years or less. However, allowance, in this 
respect, is made for time actually served in compulsory military or civil 
service and for childcare with a maximum of 2 years per child for the 
actual time spent off work.



Member States

There are 25 Member States: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, 
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, 
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, 
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, United Kingdom.



Associated States

There are 5 Associated States: Switzerland, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, 
Norway.



Candidate Countries

There  are 4: Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania and Turkey.

PhD fellowships vacancies: training in crystallography

The Italian National Research Council (CNR), through IC (Institute of 
Crystallography) is offering some fellowships mainly focused onto the study 
and development of crystallographic methods. An opportunity of training in 
this area will be offered to post-graduate fellows in Physics, Chemistry, 
Geological Sciences, Material Science, Biotechnologies to improve their 
knowledge of methods and techniques in crystallography.

Their activities will be focused mainly on crystal structure solution, 
powder diffraction data analysis, properties of policrystalline materials, 
quantitative analysis and study and development of

Techniques for proteins structure determination.

The fellows will be hosted at CNR-IC, an institute of the Italian National 
Research Council, where they will join a group of researchers and PhD 
students. Fellows will be expected to attend and to give seminars and to be 
fully integrated into the scientific activities of the Institute, having 
thus the opportunity of joining one of the major European groups in 
crystallography, with an outstanding research reputation.

Research and training opportunities will be offered in the following areas:

Ø      development of new methods for ab-initio crystal structure solution 
(small- and macro-molecules);

Ø      study and development of MIR (Multiple Isomorphous Replacement) and 
MAD (Multiple Wavelength Anomalous Dispersion) techniques for proteins;

Ø      development of innovative techniques for the treatment of powder 
diffraction data. Methods for crystal structure solution, completion and 
refinement are also developed;

Ø      Powder Diffraction from nanocrystals;

Ø      Development of crystallographic software aiming at the 
implementation of new theoretical approaches;

Ø      development of crystallographic instruments (hardware and software) 
building the electronic  logic circuits and writing control programs;

Ø      development of WWW interfaces, providing a user-friendly environment 
for the remote control of instruments following the evolution of the 
networking technology and distributed computing;

Ø      the use of synchrotron radiation, in order to:

§        Increase the efficiency of diffraction data collection for protein 
crystallographic studies.

§        Study single crystals and crystal powders for material science and 
minerals using facilities for high pressure and low temperature.

Ø      Protein crystallography

These fellowships will be offered on behalf of the "Marie Curie Development 
Host Fellowships Programme" available under the Fifth Framework Programme 
funded by the European Community.

The fellow must be pursuing studies for a PhD-level degree and the stay 
must be directly relevant to the doctoral studies pursued. The stay at 
CNR-IC or CNR-ISC (Institute for Structural Chemistry) must be recognised 
as an integral part of the  doctoral studies as confirmed in writing by the 
supervisor of the doctoral studies in the home university.



The duration of each fellow's project is between 3 and 12 months and 
fellows must be nationals of a Member or Associated State or able to 
provide proof of having resided in one of the Member States for at least 
the last five years prior to their selection. In case of non EU/Associated 
State national, he/she is not eligible if he/she was residing in Italy for 
more than two years in the last five years immediately prior to the

The training activities are expected to be carried out at CNR-IC (Bari) and 
at CNR ISC (Montelibretti, Rome), under the co-ordination of Prof. Carmelo 
Giacovazzo.

The indicative gross monthly subsistence allowance will be 1200 Euro plus 
some allowance for travel.
