Senior Associates
Being an Associate has been a great opportunity for me. It has improved my teaching and research outputs. I have been able to network with many scientists in my research area within my country and across the globe.
Dr. Elijah Oyeyemi, University of Lagos, Nigeria
The Senior Associates programme is designed for scientists - between the ages of 46 and 65 at the time of application - whose main affiliation is in a developing country.
It enables them to maintain long term formal contacts with the stimulating and active scientific environment of the Centre by supporting their visits to ICTP where they are exposed to the most modern aspects of their scientific fields.
Associates are expected to play a major role in building their scientific communities, enhancing physics and mathematics education at all levels, and planning research projects related to the specific needs of their home regions.
In addition to the research fields listed below, we are also welcoming applications in the new field of Scientific Computing, AI and Data Science (ICOMP).
Fields of research
Science, Technology and Innovation
- Advanced Scientific Instrumentation
- Digital Fabrication and Science Dissemination
- Ionospheric Physics, Ionospheric Modelling, Space Weather
- Optics
- Wireless ICT and Internet of Things
ICTP International Consortium for Scientific Computing (ICOMP)
The ICTP International Consortium for Scientific Computing (ICOMP) aims at closing the gap between rich and disadvantaged regions of the world in harnessing the potential of computational sciences through several actions:
- implementing higher education and career programs in modern and interdisciplinary computational sciences;
- enhancing international research collaborations in the field of computational science, building a community of scientists from developing countries working with modern computational tools to extend scientific frontiers in fields of direct impact for sustainable development;
- establishing an international network of key players in the area of high-performance computing (HPC) to ensure to this community the access to world-class facilities for cutting-edge scientific research.
ICOMP is meant to close the circle between all fundamental components (education, resources, technical skills and scientific insight) required in modern research, with the objective to establish structured research initiatives, fostering the birth of world-class research initiatives that would consolidate after a few years.
Who can apply
Senior Associateships are intended for scientists with an international recognition for their work and aged between 46 and 65 at the time of application.
All applicants must hold a PhD and have their main affiliation in a scientific institute in adeveloping country.
Entitlements
Senior Associateship awards have a six-year duration and a fixed allocation of funds. These funds are made available for visits in the form of a living allowances and/or travel expenses. During the six years, Senior Associate Members may apply to visit the Centre as often and for as long as they wish, until the allocation is exhausted, although the maximum duration of any visit is 60 days.
