  • Introduction

    A major goal of TMR networks is to provide an excellent environment for the training of young researchers. The GETGRATS sites will offer, during the three years of the project, grants for a total of about 20 years to young researchers having interests in topics related to Graph Transformation Systems. The requirements for candidates and the instructions for applications for the open vacancies, for about 40 man/months, are listed in this document.

    Perspective candidates (meeting the requirements listed below) can apply to one or more of the GETGRATS sites, for appointments whose typical length is 6 months (shorter or longer appointments are also possible). All appointments must finish before the end of the Projet, i.e., August 31, 2000. Candidates should read carefully the description of the research objectives of GETGRATS and of the various sites.

    The selected candidates are expected to work in close relationship with the staff of the hosting site. They will participate to the events organized by the GETGRATS network (workshops and focus area meetings). They will receive a grant of about 2000 ECU per month. The exact amount varies slightly depending on the hosting institution and on the category of the candidate (post-doctoral researcher or doctoral student).

    Applications should be compiled and submitted according to the instructions below. Any informal enquiry should be directed, preferably by electronic mail, to either the Team Leaders or the Network Coordinator.
