Marie Curie-sponsored Studentship
April 2004-March 2008
Early Stage Training Project

13 positions: 12- to 36-months sejourns for post graduate or 4 years research experience and 6 theoretical training

General objectives: the RIVAGE Marie-Curie EST-sponsored programme aims tomerge genetics and physiology for a better understanding of animal biology. The research will focus on the mechanisms underlying
i) resistance to disease and defence and
ii) cell growth and differentiation in in livestock or model animal species.

Location: France, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Jouy en Josas research Centre (20 km from Paris). This research centre is devoted to animal health, physiology and genetics. More than 1000 people are currently working there.

Positions: The fellows (see eligibility conditions ) will be in charge of a specific experimental research project and will benefit from a theoretical training. (S)he will be supervised by a multidisciplinary committee and will participate to the general meeting of the RIVAGE project (2 per year).

Eligibility conditions: applicants must have a master degree or equivalent. Researchers in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research activity are eligible (Work Programme Section 2.5.3). Persons who have optained a doctorate are ineligible. They will be preferably from an EU member or associated state and may not have resided or carried out their main activity in France for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the start date.
To get more details: http//:europa.eu.int/comm/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/pdf/est-hand.pdf

Application: the applicants must send curriculum vitae along with a brief letter of intent explaining their motivations and professional project; address, phone number and e-mail of a reference scientist will be appreciated. All the candidatures will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary committee. Equal opportunity is ensured, with no consideration of ethnic, gender or religion issues.

Theoretical training: One week post-doctoral courses
