Welcome to the official website for the SMALL ITN, a European Commission Framework 7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network. SMALL represents ‘Surface for Molecular Recognition at the Atomic Level’ and is focussed on training 22 PhD students across 11 different institutions in cutting edge nanoscience, chemistry, physics and theoretical methods. To find out more about the research studentships available please click on one of the project titles in the list on the right, or visit our vacancies page.

To find out more about Marie Curie Actions under Framework 7 please visit the Marie Curie Actions website. The underlying principle of this Marie Curie Action is the training and mobility of early stage researchers. Therefore there are some eligibility criteria. Please make sure that you meet these criteria before applying for any of the PhD research studentships that we have available.

  • You must have less than 4 years research experience (measured from the time you obtained your undergraduate/masters degree).
  • You must NOT have a PhD already.
  • You may be a national of any country other than the country of the premises of the host organisation to which you are applying (unless you have legally resided outside that country for at least 3 out the last 4 years).
  • You must not have resided or carried out your main activity in the country of the host for more than 12 months in the last 3 years immediately prior to your appointment.
