ATIP-AVENIR PROGRAM : Promotion of young researchers,The session 2015 is open.Under a partnership between Inserm and CNRS, a call for proposal is launched to:Enable young scientists to create and lead a team within an already existing structure. The ATIP - AVENIR teams will strengthen the research of the host units but will develop independently their own scientific project. Successful applicants will have to develop their projects within a structure in which they never worked before ;Promote mobility and attract young team leaders of high-level working abroad.
Présentation de l'Inserm:Introducing the Inserm
Applications must be submitted in electronic form before November 27th 2014
Proposals should be submitted on-line at:
The ATIP - Avenir grant is allocated for a period of 3 years. After evaluation, it can be extended for an additional 2 years.It is open to any young scientists, whatever their present position and nationality, who have defended their PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) within the last 10 years (after September, 15h, 2004).Successful applicants will have to develop their projects within a structure in which he/she has not been working for more than 18 months and will not find any previous mentors (of PhD and/or post doctorate).Laureates of a grant for the young researchers similar to the ATIP-Avenir program are not eligible (e.g. ANR or ERC programs to manage a research group). No more than two applications are allowed.
- Projects must relate to Life sciences or Health. The interdisciplinary projects combining biology and mathematics,physics, informatics, chemistry, public health (more specifically economic and social sciences research about social determinants of health), will be examined with a particular attention. Applications from clinicians and qualified women are strongly encouraged. Projects should comply with ethics rules of Inserm and CNRS.
Funding:
- Annual grant of € 60,000
- Two-year salary for a postdoctoral researcher.
- Monthly gross salary of € 3,600 (before tax deduction) for 3 years for non-tenured
successful applicants.
- The host laboratory will provide the team a dedicated research area of about 50m² (infrastructures fees will be paid by the host lab) and access to the local technological facilities. Applicants may submit their proposal without an identified host laboratory but must then in parallel contact Inserm and/or CNRS to help identifying a suitable scientific environment.
Selection procedure
Applications will be assessed by specialized international scientific committees with appropriate experts3:
- LS1 Molecular and Structural Biology, and Biochemistry;
- LS2 Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology;
- LS3 Cell Biology, Development and Evolution;
- LS4 Physiology, Pathophysiology and Translational Research;
- LS5 Neurosciences and Disorders of the nervous system;
- LS6 Immunity, Infection and Microbiology;
- LS7 Diagnostic tools, Therapies, Biotechnology and Public Health.
The selection will be done in two stages: shortlisting in April 2015 and interviews of the selected applicants in June 2015. The final list of laureates and their host laboratories will be established jointly by Inserm and CNRS early July 2015.
Applications must be submitted in electronic form4 before November 27th 2014
Proposals should be submitted on-line at:
- Exceptions can be granted for maternity (one year per children) or paternity and/or military service leaves
- Exceptions can be granted to teachers from university hospitals
- Consult the themes of research covered by these juries following page
