Marie Curie Fellowships for Early Stage Research Training in Orsay
Opened positions available! [Read]
|
The "Marie-Curie Orsay Early Stage Training Site on Emergent Phenomena in Condensed Matter Physics" offers the possibility to early stage researchers to apply for Ph. D. or shorter periods at the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides at Orsay. Several Marie-Curie fellowships are currently available. This European program is designed for early stage researchers who are qualified to undertake doctoral studies, and are not nationals or residents of France. It provides generous living, travel and mobility allowances. The applicants should apply directly to a research group of the laboratory, as listed here. The Laboratoire de physique des solides at Orsay is the largest institute devoted to condensed matter physics in France. The laboratory is a part of the Université Paris Sud and is also associated with the CNRS. It has, over nearly 45 years, pioneered important advancements in this field. It hosts permanently around 200 people, who work on state of the art concepts. Its scientific tradition enables numerous high level international collaborations and an outstanding experience in high quality research training. The laboratory brings together under one roof all the facilities and know-how needed to create, characterize and study new materials. The trainees will find in the laboratory a broad range of experimental techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, scattering experiments... together with an important group of theoreticians. The research project will be devoted to emergent physical phenomena in Condensed Matter Physics, which appear as important both on fundamental research aspects and for technological applications. Particular emphasis will be put on the new states of matter in correlated electron systems, new physical phenomena at the nanoscale, and important studies of soft and biological matter. These fields encompass an extraordinarily rich variety of phenomena, but display an underlying unity based on common concepts, shared techniques, facilities and apparatus and on a common basic education given by our graduate school. This programme is supported by the Human Resources and Mobility (HRM) activity of the Sixth Framework Programme of the European Union, which and is largely based on the financing of training and mobility activities for researchers. These activities, known as the Marie Curie Actions, are aimed at the development and transfer of research competencies, the consolidation and widening of researchers' career prospects, and the promotion of excellence in European research. The detailed principles of Marie Curie Fellowships for Early Stage Training are explained in the following Handbook ( . pdf 1043 Kb).
