FRANCE – POST DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP 2011
Post Doctoral Fellowship 2011 – HFSP, France
About HFSP:
The HFSP supports novel, innovative and interdisciplinary basic research focused on the complex mechanisms of living organisms; topics range from molecular and cellular approaches to systems and cognitive neuroscience. A clear emphasis is placed on novel collaborations that bring biologists together with scientists from fields such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and engineering to focus on problems at the frontier of the life sciences.
Detail:
The Human Frontier Science Program offers fellowships for basic research training in the life sciences across national and scientific boundaries. Applications are invited for two international* postdoctoral programs supporting innovative, ground-breaking and risk-taking projects at the frontiers of life sciences and their interface with other fields of research. Proposals should demonstrate the fellow’s initiative and grantsmanship. HFSP fellows are expected to be exposed to new theory and methods during the tenure of their award while their previous expertise should be reflected in the research project. Applications from female candidates are encouraged.
