The Monaco/ITER fellowship offers a great opportunity to be involved in this largest fusion project in the world and learn from other excellent scientists. Working at ITER is definitely a life-changing experience for my academic career.

The ITER Monaco fellowship is an amazing opportunity for young fusion researchers to be deeply involved in the cutting-edge plasma physics research linked with the ITER project. It also offers a unique chance for early career physicists to present their research work to the international community.

The Monaco Fellowship is an outstanding opportunity to work inside ITER as a Postdoctoral Researcher. While ITER is still a construction project, and hence here is little opportunity for young researchers to be hired in the project after it, a 2-year program provides great insight to the inner workings of ITER. The Science and Control Division, while small, offers a supporting working environment composed by some of the most knowledgeable and cheerful scientists I have had the pleasure to work with.
PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO/ITER POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS 2024
Under the terms of a Partnership Arrangement signed between the ITER Organization and the Principality of Monaco in 2008 (and renewed in 2018), a Postdoctoral Fellowship program has been established at ITER. The Arrangement allows for the appointment of five young scientists, every two years, from the seven ITER Member countries or from the Principality of Monaco. The Monaco Fellows, as they are called, are trained—over a period of two years—in research areas related to the ITER Project.
The principal motivation of the research fellowships is the development of excellence in research in fusion science and technology within the ITER framework. Brilliance and creativity, together with understanding of the relevance of the individual research interests to the ITER Project, are a key requirement.
The Monaco/ITER Postdoctoral Fellowship Program allows young researchers to participate in one of the great scientific and technical challenges of the 21st century and to work closely with leading experts in fusion science and technology within a unique international framework. If you are interested in contributing to the development of fusion energy and would like to experience the ITER Project "up close," the Monaco/ITER Fellowships are a great opportunity.
