IGBMC International PhD Programme, France: Biomedical research

IGBMC’s PhD Programme is based on a three year – intensive training which comprises dedicated research investigations and active participation in diverse lectures and practicals. Close collaborations with other research institutions in the “Parc d’Innovation” such as the adjacent MCI (Mouse Clinical Institute), the trinational biotechnology school ESBS (Ecole Supérieure de Biotechnologie Strasbourg ), the Faculty of Pharmacy as well as ISIS (Institut de Science et d’Ingénierie Supramoléculaires ) and the University of Strasbourg at large, contribute to synergistic and collegial interactions within and beyond IGBMC. Concomitantly with the highly cosmopolitan and dynamic nature of Strasbourg, our 280 students and post-doctoral fellows from over 30 distinct countries represent a key driving force of IGBMC international visibility.

The selection committee is composed of Group Leaders of the IGBMC. Students spend 3-4 years in one of the laboratories of the IGBMC, and attend lectures, seminars and courses to complete their training. During the course of their PhD, students will acquire all the skills they need to pursue successful careers in biology. They will be able to attend numerous first-class seminars given by internationally renowned scientists and discuss with them. They will experience the everyday excitement of working in a lab in an intellectually stimulating and dynamic environment.

Career Development Fellowship in Biomedical Science 2011 in Australia

These fellowships are available for any aspect of biomedical research or fundamental
research relevant to health. They are full-time fellowships and recipients would normally
be expected to work full-time on the development of their research careers during the term
of the award.

NHMRC is committed to identifying and supporting the best research and researchers in Australia. The NHMRC aims to achieve this by supporting the best and most relevant research. This commitment comes from the 2010 – 2012 NHMRC  Strategic Plan,
Objective 3 to foster medical research and training and public health research and training throughout Australia.

Selection Criteria Applicants must satisfy the Selection Criteria, which cover the following areas:

. Demonstrated research success relative to opportunity in terms of both seniority and field of research with reference to the levels of activity outlined in the classification statement for these positions (Appendix 1);

Research plans that are consistent with the aims of the scheme;

A supportive research environment with the facilities and infrastructure (including that of the Industry partner where applicable) needed to support the proposed research and career development plans.

Applicants are assessed by Peer Review Panels (PRPs) against the Selection Criteria and ranked against each other within their respective categories. In assessing an application against the Selection Criteria, PRPs take into account the quality of past achievements (especially academic record and any awards and prizes), the quality and impact of research work, the level of past research funding and the quality of the research proposal and proposed research environment. More detailed guidance on the application of these parameters is set out in the research performance descriptors at Appendix 2.
