One Early stage Researcher position is now available [closed]
Individual project: Biomaterial based modulation of macrophage polarisation to induce anti-nociceptive effects during neuropathic pain. Host institution: Percuros BV (The Netherlands)
We will provide a structured cutting-edge training programme in and beyond the fields of neuropathic pain and its biological basis, biomaterials, chemistry, nanoparticles and imaging. We are offering a competitive, interdisciplinary environment with a track record of intense mutual collaboration. In addition to the individual training-through-research our programme includes further elements such as workshops, summer schools, internships and secondments to the partners’ laboratories.
The position is available for 27 months starting from October 2022 (at the latest).
The salary is based on standard H2020 – Marie Skłodowska Curie – ITN living, mobility and family allowances.
The following eligibility rules apply for participation in a Marie Skłodowska Curie Innovative Training Network:
- Applicants must be in the first 4 years after obtaining their Master´s degree and/or Bachelor’s degree
- Applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in The Netherlands (host country) for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date.
To apply send your application to federica.zacchini@kcl.ac.uk providing your CV, copy of degree certificate, motivation letter and contact details of at least 2 referees. Please state “PIANO ESR14 application” as subject in the email containing your application.
