Here an extract:

The Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) runs a project on the development of human resources associated with the Upgrade of the Sardinia Radio Telescope for the study of the Universe at high radio frequency. One of the total of 18 fellowships awarded for this project will be focused on “Long baselines and short wavelengths: enabling the access to the most compact sources”. The fellowship will focus on the prospects of Very Long Baseline Interferometry in Italy at high frequency, as made possible by the installation of multi-frequency receivers on the Sardinia Radio Telescope and the two other INAF antennas. This will allow the study, through imaging, of the structure of high energy extragalactic sources (blazars, radio galaxies) or of rapidly variable and transient sources, both in the Galaxy and in the extragalactic sky.  The position is offered for 24 months, starting on 2021 June 1st (with the possibility of changes), with a gross salary of 28000 EUR/year. Application deadline is 2021 March 31st, and complete submission should be addressed to concorsi.ira@legalmail.it with subject “3/2021/IRA/AR”.
