Note that

* all these positions come with a three-year fellowship that can fully support a student in Pisa, and some funds for research travels; * candidates are supposed to get their master degree by October 2018 at the latest; * advanced courses in Pisa are usually taught in English (at least if there are non-Italian students in the class) and learning Italian is not mandatory; * even though the Scuola Normale is a separate institution from the University of Pisa, we share courses and all types of activities; indeed students from the University can have an advisor at the Scuola, and viceversa; * students that can secure themselves financial support from other sources can apply for further positions.
