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

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
