IARC - IRELAND Postdoctoral Fellowship for Training in Cancer Research 2012-2013
Applications for a training fellowship in 2012-2013 are invited from postdoctoral scientists who are Irish nationals1, who intend to pursue a career in cancer research and wish to complete their training in those aspects of cancer research related to the Agency's mission and of priority for the Irish Cancer Society, in particular, in projects with a focus on epidemiology (including genetic and molecular) or on interdisciplinary projects involving epidemiology.
The Fellowship is tenable at the IARC in Lyon, France working in a research Group. The fellowship is for a period of one year initially, with the possibility of an extension for an additional year subject to satisfactory appraisal, and the subsequent opportunity to apply for a “Return Grant” provided by ICS to return to a position in Ireland with a salary for one year. Candidates are required to have finished their doctoral degree within five years of the closing date for application or be in the final phase of completing their doctoral degree (M.D. or Ph.D.). The working languages at IARC are English and French. Candidates already working as a postdoctoral fellow at the Agency at the time of application or who have had any contractual relationship with IARC during the six months preceding the application deadline or who have already spent more than one year at IARC cannot be considered. Candidates must contact the host Group of their choice at IARC before application in order to interact closely to establish a proposed programme of mutual interest. Contact with the Group Heads can be made through the Agency's web site: http://www.iarc.fr
The fellowship must be taken up by 30 November 2012.
1The Irish Cancer Society has funded IARC in this regard, requesting that IARC conducts training on its behalf as per the priorities defined in IARC's statutes and Medium-Term-Strategy and Implementation Plan for 2010-2014.
Applications must reach the Agency no later than 15 February 2012.
