• Nano-approaches to life sciences
• Nanomodeling, theory and simulation

Requirements:

• Applications are invited from highly talented and motivated students of any nationality, educated everywhere except France.
• Applicants can have different backgrounds viz., Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Mathematics.
• Applicant must be able to propose a research proposal and must have a strong interest in the field of Nanosciences.
• It is compulsory to build a proposal in strong connection with the targeted host laboratory, taking into account the networking opportunity within the Grenoble ecosystem.
• Applicants must hold the equivalent of a master’s degree obtained outside of France.
• Applicant must possess fluency in English language.
• Applicant must have contacted one of the laboratories of the network and be able to propose a research project built in agreement with the chosen supervisor.
• The proposition of a research project which involves more than one of the 33 labs of the network would fully fit the networking strategy at the core of the Foundation and would have a greater chance of being selected.

Remuneration: salary slightly variable according to the hosting laboratory will be covered for 36 months, including healthcare insurance (income tax not deduced).
