GRADUATE TRAINING FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE

Marie Curie training programme “FAMED”

Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB)
Heraklio Crete, Greece

Graduate training fellowships are available for studying developmental processes in model organisms with a special focus on the elucidation of the regulatory role of small non-coding RNAs (microRNAs).

The duration of the fellowship is not strictly fixed. Unless there is a special need we intend to provide two major classes of fellowships:

* Short-term fellowships will typically last 3-6 months and should fulfill a specific need of the trainee (e.g. training in a particular methodology relevant for her/his PhD project which is not available at the home institution).

* Long-term fellowships will cover a major part of the experimental phase of a PhD thesis.


Applicants will be selected based on their motivation and potential for excellence. They should have a relevant B.Sc., M.Sc. or equivalent degree, and no more than four years of graduate experience.

Interested applicants should send their CV and a brief description of their research interests to famed@imbb.forth.gr. They should also ask two referees to send letters of recommendation to the same electronic address.

The next deadline for selection of long-term fellows is 20 March 2006. There is no deadline for short-term fellowships.
