Nostrification of Ph.D. qualifications awarded by foreign universities

This year there have been some upgrades to the Italian laws ruling the recruitment in the universities. One of these upgrades concerns the documents required to apply for calls for the positions of “junior or senior RTD” (temporary assistant professor).

The main change is about the document proving the Ph.D. qualification. In particular, some universities (please don’t ask why not all of them) are now asking that participants to a call declare that they have obtained the nostrification of the Ph.D. qualification, or that they have at least sent the request for the nostrification to the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research.

Hence, if you have earned your Ph.D. outside Italy and are thinking of applying for a junior or senior RTD position in Italy, it is a good idea if you take a look at the following link
