Subject: Internal call for AXA €130 000 Research Fund post-doctoral fellowship applications

 

Hei

 

Tarkistin vielä Aijalta aikataulun, kun tämä AXA fellowship tuli niin kiireellä (joskin ilmoitus oli ollut Notiossa syyskuussa) . Hakemusten deadline on tällä viikolla – tänään ei ole pakko toimittaa hakemusta. 

 

Biologian puolelta varmasti löytyisi tutkijoita, joita asia voisi kiinnostaa? Hakemuksen pituus pari sivua ja rahoitus kohdistettu postdoceille, joilla ei ole pysyvää työsuhdetta.

 

T. Päivi
