Call for Interest for Grantholders at the JRC in Ispra, Italy
The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) is a reference centre of science and technology for the European Union. 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. The 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 puts the IES in a strong position to contribute to the implementation of the European Research Area and to the achievement of a sustainable development.
In order to increase and reinforce its capacity, and in order to encourage researchers 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 and Post-doctoral Positions.
