POSITIONS NOW FILLED

EC-funded Marie-Curie ITN Early Stage Researcher Fellowships available

The BIOTRAINS project (FP7 Marie Curie ITN People Programme) still has a number of Early Stage researchers (ESRs, 0-4 years research experience after graduation) to these prestigious positions. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work within a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary network of leading researchers, with the specific aim to develop the skills needed for the white biotechnology industries. As well as training within a highly respected research group opportunities for exchange experience with other groups in the network and placement with an industrial mentor with some of the most respected European industrialists exist in this program. We particularly encourage women to apply for these positions.

We are looking for highly motivated researchers with degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or related engineering sciences. Please email your letter of application, curriculum vitae and contact details of two referees, specifying the name of the relevant PI (see list below), to john.whittall@manchester.ac.uk

Please note that the following criteria apply: the candidate should not have resided or worked in the host country for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the date of selection.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work within a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary network of leading researchers (see list below). The candidates will spend most of the time with one of the researchers listed below but exchanges with the other labs of the network members will be an integral part of the training and regular meetings of the whole network will take place at the various centres during the training.
