ongoing research of the group.
Key points General research area: theoretical aspects of gravity;
Duration of the grant: 2 or 3 years. Amount of the grant: up to 25,600 EUR per year for salary (pre-tax), 3,200 EUR per year for research costs, and a one-time relocation allowance to move in to Estonia.
