Predoc · Postdoc · Research Contract · Ricercatore Tenure Track (RTT)
Italy offers several research-based career opportunities for international researchers across universities and research institutions — providing pathways to funded research projects, academic publications, and long-term European academic careers. My application support service helps you identify suitable opportunities, prepare competitive applications, and manage the submission process.
Applying for research positions in Italy and other European countries is competitive. Universities and research institutions independently evaluate candidates based on their own selection criteria, including academic qualifications, research experience, publications, research fit, interviews, and available funding.
My service provides professional support in identifying suitable opportunities, preparing applications, and improving the quality and accuracy of submissions. However:
Italian universities currently offer four main categories of research positions:
Borsa di Ricerca / Incarico di Ricerca
Entry-level research position suitable for candidates with a Master's degree who want to gain research experience before or during PhD preparation.
Incarico Post-doc
Research position for PhD holders working on academic projects, publications, and funded research activities.
Contratto di Ricerca
A structured research employment contract for researchers with a PhD and strong research experience.
