We are offering access to the IFRF Research Infrastructure for candidates, pursuing PhD studies for period of training through research. The access period will commence during March 2004 and will have a nominal duration of upto 10 Months of Research Fellowship.

This programme is funded via the European Commission Marie Curie Training Sites programme. The IFRF Infrastructure at IJmuiden in the Netherlands is a designated Marie Curie Training Site. This programme gives young researchers, pursuing doctoral studies, the opportunity to receive training within high-level groups in their specialised area of research.

The requirements for Marie Curie Training Fellows are as follows

Nationality
All fellows must be nationals of an EU Member or Associated State (see above), or have resided in the EU for at least five years immediately prior to their selection by the company.
