12 PhD positions available in FINSysB

Applications are being sought for twelve PhD positions in the FINSysB Network, starting around the beginning of 2009. This Marie Curie Initial Training Network is about to be funded by the European Commission under Framework Program 7. The PhD’s will study with internationally renowned experts on a range of state-of-the-art projects involving genomics, molecular biology, bioinformatics and mathematical modeling (below). These projects will contribute to the overall FINSysB research program on the ‘Pathogenomics and systems biology of fungal infections – an integrative approach’. The successful applicants will be ambitious, conscientious and hard working team players. They will become integral members of the FINSysB Network where they will receive a thorough training in multidisciplinary research and complementary transferable skills, including career progression.

Applicants should send their CV with a covering letter to the relevant laboratory, specifying the PhD position of interest (e.g. FINSysB-PhD5). Applicants must meet the European Commission’s eligibility criteria. [For example: applicants must be in the first four years of their research careers; they can be nationals of any country other than the country where they will study for their PhD; and they must not have resided in the country of their PhD host for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment.] Short-listed candidates will be interviewed by the host institution and will be reviewed centrally to ensure an appropriate gender balance across the Network. The successful applicants will hold contracts of employment with their host institution, and will be subject to the regulations of the European Commission.
