The GreenX3 project, a Marie Skłodowska Curie Action Industrial Doctorate network (MSCA-DN-ID), is offering 10 positions for doctoral candidates (DCs, funded by EU) and 3 Doctoral Network Students (DNS, funded by UKRI) eager to work in a multidisciplinary and innovative European network driven by societal needs and environmental challenges. GreenX3 will focus on the study of greener materials and their environmental impact, the development of novel environment-friendly industrial processes, and key enabling technologies (KETs) designed to enhance resource management and product quality. The recruited candidate will have the opportunity to work in both industrial and academic sectors while implementing his/her work. The successful candidate will step outside academia and develop skills in entrepreneurship, industry and business by spending at least 50% of their time in the non-academic sector and by being jointly supervised by academic and non-academic supervisors. Additionally, the doctoral candidates will attend yearly summer school and international meetings whilst receiving training on research and transferrable skills.
What is offered?
A monthly gross salary comprising a living allowance, mobility allowance and if applicable a family allowance.
The family allowance will be implemented if the doctoral candidate has or acquires family obligations (i.e. marriage or relationship with equivalent status to a marriage recognised by the legislation of the country or region where this relationship was formalised or dependent children who are actually being maintained by the researcher) during the action duration.
This is approximately rounded at € 48 000.00 (gross salary, including compulsory deductions under national law, such as employer and employee social security contributions and direct taxes) per annum (living and mobility allowance). The provided amount is not conclusive, and a country correction coefficient applies to the living allowance in order to ensure equal treatment and purchasing power parity for all researchers and will be defined prior the recruitment starting. For further details see the specific positions following the link provided in the section above.
The candidate will be employed by the recruiting beneficiary with a single, three years employment contract offering social security, holiday rights, parental leave rights, pension provision, healthcare insurance and accident coverage at work. Researchers must be enrolled in a doctoral programme leading to the award of a doctoral degree in at least one EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country.
