Successful candidates are expected to pursue their own independent research program and to participate to ISSI’s research activities. They are encouraged to collaborate with the scientific staff of the Institute, and to interact with a large and diverse community of scientists from all over the world.  ISSI provides the possibility to participate to the research activities of and/or lead ISSI International Teams.
