The Joint Research Centre, the European Commission's research organisation, is launching a call for interest for PhD and Post-Doctoral fellowships.

The scientific activities of the JRC are divided between eight institutes, located at five sites throughout Europe, namely Geel, Belgium; Ispra, Italy; Karlsruhe, Germany; Add Petten (Netherlands); and Seville, Spain.

Applications for the fellowships are open to young scientists from EU Member States or those associated with the EU's RTD (research and technological development) Framework programme.

Candidates wishing to apply for the PhD grants must be no more than 35 years old and in possession of a university degree. Those wishing to be considered for the Post-Doctoral grants must be no more than 35 years of age and in possession of a PhD or at least four years post-graduate experience. Candidates must submit their signed application forms by post to the relevant institute contact point. The forms can be downloaded from the JRC web site at the address given above. The deadline for applications is September 15 2001. Grant allocations are expected to start from January 2002.

The call is being made as part of the Commission's drive to increase the scientific capacity of the Framework programmes. The placements offer young scientists the opportunity to develop their research experience in an international, multicultural and multidisciplinary environment.For further information, please contact:
