Up to 200000€ extra research funds along the contract period for research.

There are already four scientists at DFT who have been incorporated under ATCAM. Moreover, 13 out of the current DFT staff are or have been Ramón y Cajal fellows.

DFT drives a Master Degree in Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, and actively participates in a second one in Nuclear Physics, see https://www.uam.es/FisicaTeorica/Master/1242673322047.htm?language=en&nodepath=Master%27s%20Degrees&pid=1234888473975

Moreover, DFT  is responsible for two PhD Programmes in Theorecal Physics and Astrophysics, respectively.

Two research Institutes are associated to DFT:

** Instituto de Fisica Teorica, IFT (CSIC-UAM), https://www.ift.uam-csic.es/

** Centro de Investigacion Avanzada en Fisica Fundamental, CIAFF (UAM), https://plateado.ft.uam.es/drupal/en

In order to be apply to the call via the DFT at UAM, applicants should express their interest to Anette Knebe (Esta dirección de correo electrónico está protegida contra spambots.

Since the number of applicants that can be supported by the DFT at UAM is limited, the expressions of interests are mandatory in order to be considered. After July 5th Anette Knebe will contact the applicants to inform them if the DFT at UAM will be able to support their application. 

The candidates supported by the DFT should then apply through the ATCAM webpage by July 12th.
