Call for Interest for Grantholders at the Institute for Environment and Sustainability

THE CALL IS OPEN - Next cut-off: 28th February 2010 at 12:00 a.m. (Milan time)

Located in Ispra (Italy), the Institute for Environment and Sustainability is one of
the seven institutes that constitute the Joint Research Centre of the European
Commission.

In line with the JRC mission, the aim of IES is to provide scientific and technical
support to the European Union strategies for the protection of the environment
contributing to a sustainable development. IES works in close collaboration with
official laboratories, research centres and industries of the EU's Member States,
creating a bridge between the EU's policies and the European citizen.

The combination of complementary expertise in the fields of experimental sciences,
modelling and remote sensing put the IES in a strong position to contribute to the
implementation of the European Research Area and to the achievement of a sustainable
development.

Being structured in six scientific
Units<http://ies.jrc.ec.europa.eu/Job-opportunities/open-calls/units>, the Institute
at present is engaged within seven main fields of activity:

- Sustainable Use of Natural Resources: Water, Soils, Forests

- Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development

- Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

- Environmental Risks and Natural Hazards

- Sustainable transport and Air Quality

- Environmental Dimension of Development Co-operation

- Environmental Monitoring and Information Systems: GMES and INSPIRE

In order to increase and reinforce its capacity, and in order to encourage researcher
to enhance their experience in an international, multicultural and multidisciplinary
environment, the Institute for Environment and Sustainability is launching a call for
interest for Grantholders for Doctoral, Post-doctoral and Senior Research Positions.

The grants are aimed at developing training and mobility opportunities for
researchers throughout their careers.
