NEWSLETTER N°1 - December 2018

On November, 1st 2018, the URBASIS project granted under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Innovative Training Network fund (MSCA-ITN is part of the Horizon 2020, the EU Research and Innovation programme) has started.
All the beneficiaries (8) and the partners (7) of the project met in Lyon (France), for a two-days kick-off meeting, organized by the project coordinator Philippe Guéguen from the Université de Grenoble Alpes (France) in order to exchange on the scientific and the administrative, organizational and financial aspects of the project.
The main concern was related to the recruitment of the ESRs who will be at the core of this research project on New challenges for Urban Engineering Seismology. The aim of an ITN project is to promote the mobility between early-stage researchers who will work on their PhD thesis within a European network of scientists chosen for having proven their excellence in their research fields.

Recruitment of the ESRs

The recruitment of the ESRs will occur very soon since the position offers for the 15 PhD subjects will be publicly released on Monday, November 26th 2018 on the EURAXESS job offer page and on the URBASIS project website.
The publication of the ESR position offers will be opened during three months (mandatory) and the interviews for selected candidates will take place in Grenoble or via video-call during a week at the end of March 2019.
We are looking for enthusiast candidates who hold at least a Master’s degree, regardless nationality, gender or any kind of discrimination. Woman are encouraged to apply in the interest of gender equality.
