The Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme offers highly competitive and attractive salary and working conditions. Exact salary will be confirmed upon appointment. In particular it consists of:

• Allowances:

1. a monthly living allowance: 3,270 euro/month (€39,240/year); this amount is then adjusted through the application of a country correction coefficient to the living allowance of the country in which the researcher is recruited: : 115.7% to France, 104.4% to Italy , 139.8% to United Kingdom, 95.4% to Spain, 106.1% to Israel , 77.4% to Hungary.
2. a monthly mobility allowance: 600 euro/month
3. a monthly family allowance, if applicable depending on the family situation: 500 euro/month.

• It must be noted that the living allowance is a gross EU contribution to the salary costs of the researcher. Consequently, the net salary results from deducting all compulsory (employer/employee) social security contributions as well as direct taxes (e.g. income tax) from the gross amounts. The rate indicated here is for researchers devoting themselves to their project on a full-time basis.
• The mobility and family allowance is a fixed amount, regardless of the country of recruitment, and may be taxable depending on the country in which the researcher is recruited.
