PhD positions in Computer Science at IMT Lucca (Italy)
- Deadline June 29, 2015 -
=========================================================
The Institute for Advanced Studies IMT Lucca - Italy
(http://www.imtlucca.it/) invites applications for fully-funded PhD
scholarships in Computer Science tenable from 1st November 2015.
IMT Lucca is a truly international research university within the
Italian public higher education system that focuses on cutting-edge
research in key areas such as Computer Sciences, Systems Engineering,
Complex Networks, Economics and Cultural Heritage. The three-year
doctoral program, which is taught entirely in English, is articulated in
four discipline-specific curricula that share an interdisciplinary
scientific background.
Computer Science doctoral studies at IMT are coordinated by Rocco De
Nicola and promote research on the theory and applications of
informatics such as concurrency, performance, programming languages,
security, dependability, software engineering, and computational
biology. The overarching goal is to develop languages, models,
algorithms, verification techniques, engineering methodologies, and
software tools for reasoning about distributed systems.
The doctoral students will be working within the SysMA research unit of
IMT Lucca (http://sysma.lab.imtlucca.it/); some of the research lines
are pursued in collaboration with two institutes of the Italian Research
Council (CNR) in Pisa, namely ISTI (http://www.isti.cnr.it) and IIT
(http://www.iit.cnr.it).
PhD students receive a stipend of about €13,600 EUR gross (around
€12,400 EUR after taxes) per year, as established by Italian law. In
addition, they are offered free meals and on-campus housing in the
historical center of the beautiful Tuscan city of Lucca. Students also
get the opportunity to spend research periods abroad, with the
possibility of receiving additional financing through the Erasmus+ program.
The deadline for application is June 29th, 2015 at 18:00 Italian time.
The call is open to all candidates who are expected to obtain the
required degree by October 31st, 2015; however, they must still apply by
the above deadline. Further details, along with the online application
form, can be found at: http://phd.imtlucca.it
