[France] IARC Fellowships for Cancer Research
Deadline : 30 November 2007 and 15 September 2007
Since 1966, IARC has awarded more than 500 fellowships to junior scientists for research training in cancer. Approximately 85% of Fellows return to their home country on completion of their training, and around 82% remain active in cancer research. As a result, IARC Fellowships have made a substantial contribution to the development of cancer research in many countries. At present, the IARC Fellowship programme is partially supported by the Italian Association for Research on Cancer.
The Fellowships Programme has been reorganized to offer postdoctoral fellowships to junior scientists from low- or medium-resource countries who wish to complete their training at the IARC in Lyon, France working in a research Group.
A Visiting Scientist Award is also offered for a qualified and experienced investigator who wishes to spend from three to twelve months at the IARC working on a collaborative project in a research area related to the Agency’s programmes.
IARC is also offering an Expertise Transfer Fellowship to enable an established investigator to spend from six to twelve months in an appropriate host institute in a low- / medium-resource country in order to transfer knowledge and expertise in a research area relevant for the host country and related to the Agency’s programmes.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS IS: 30 November 2007
The new Ph.D. training programme is now calling for applications from junior scientists from low- or medium-resource countries who are committed to pursuing a career in cancer research and have a Master’s degree in an appropriate subject (medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, laboratory research) and wish to study for a Ph.D. degree in the field of epidemiology or biostatistics in a research Group at IARC in Lyon. The thesis will be required to be submitted in English.
DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS IS: 15 September 2007
