[Air-L] Call for Foreign Members of the National Scientific Qualification Committee

[Fabio Giglietto]

Dear friends and fellow internet researchers,
a recent legislation has substantially modified the recruitment system
for academic staff in Italy. The new procedure is based on a national
competition for the National Scientific Qualification (abilitazione),
which from now on is required to enter Italian universities as
associate or full professor. The qualification, comparable to the
French “qualification”, is granted by National Committees, one for
each group of disciplines (a total of around 200 distinct groups). All
committees are made up of five members, four affiliated to Italian
universities and one affiliated to a foreign university (OECD
countries). Members from foreign universities must hold a position
equivalent to that of a full professor.

I believe it's crucial to try injecting some internet research
background and culture in this commissions.

The post shall be entitled with an honorarium of Euro 16,000 for the
whole period, plus expenses.

More information and the registration form

your candidacy are available at

Feel free to forward this message to your colleagues or to contact me
for more information.
