Prerequisites for RTDb (tenure-track assistant professor) position in Italy
Yes, that is accurate up to my knowledge.

This should be specified in the individual calls, but usually requirements are checked when the applications close: so if you must submit your application until January 31 (for instance), then you also must have 3 years of experience on January 31.

No, there isn't an explicit number of years of postdoctoral experience required for habilitation. However, the committee also evaluates your &quot;scientific maturity&quot; to take on an associate professor position, so they can decide that your experience is not sufficient. I suggest you to take a look at how candidates were evaluated in your sector at the previous deadlines, to get an idea.

RTD-A positions have a fixed duration (3-year positions, renewable once for 2 further years), and they involve some teaching (ca. 60 classroom hours/year, plus a good amount of exams). They are probably better described as a &quot;non-tenure-track junior assistant professor position&quot; rather than as a postdoc.


If you are thinking about applying now, note that you missed the last deadline at https://abilitazione.miur.it/public/agenda.php?sersel=61&amp;&amp;#idx-1 . I guess that new dates will be published soon with minimal changes to the overall system, but now we are waiting from news from the ministry.
