<pre>Dear C<span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">olleagues</span>,<o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>I have two positions open at the University of Milano-Bicocca in the frame<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>of the PICOSEC MC-NET project (Pico-second Siliconphotomultiplier-Electronics-Crystal research-Marie- Curie-Network)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><a href="http://picosec.web.cern.ch/picosec/home.html">http://picosec.web.cern.ch/picosec/home.html</a><o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The duration of the grant is 36 months.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>The description of both positions is available at <a
href="http://picosec.web.cern.ch/picosec/vacancies.html">http://picosec.web.cern.ch/picosec/vacancies.html</a>,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>where also positions offered by the other partners of the network are visible.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The activity is related to crystal based PET detectors with very high time resolution.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>One of the position is focused on crystal characterization, the other on readout photodetectors.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Candidates of any nationality are eligible if: <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>- they do not have PhD at the enrollment time (though they can get it during the contract),<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>- have got their degrees less than 4 years ago <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>- have spent less than 12 months in Italy during the past 3 years.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>I do not require particular experience in the field, only a genuine interest for detector applications to medical imaging.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The students have an interesting training program and are well paid, compared with people enrolled in normal national PhD programs.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>I am in favor of encouraging student mobility, especially with CERN, which is the partner of the network with whom we collaborate most.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Although the deadline is presently set January 31st, it will be postponed to middle February.<o:p></o:p></pre>
