Applications are invited for filling 10 Early Stage Researcher (ESR) fellowships for a period of 36 months in accordance with the terms of an EU FP7 Marie Curie ITN. The ESRs will develop a research project, pursuing a PhD degree at one of the POSTICK’s participating institutions either in Germany, Scotland, Spain, Czech Republic or France.

Applicants should hold a strong university degree (Masters/diploma or equivalent) in a relevant subject (veterinary medicine, biology or related discipline) and satisfy the Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher eligibility criteria (i.e. a maximum of four years research experience at the time of selection) and must not be nationals of the country in which they propose to hold the fellowship (unless they have spent 3 out of the previous 4 years outside of that country). Furthermore, applicants must not have spent 12 months (over the past three years) in the country in which they propose to hold the fellowship and must have a very good working knowledge of English, as all POSTICK training events will be in English.


The ESRs will benefit from a competitive salary, mobility allowance, international collaborations, secondments, and complementary training activities organized by the POSTICK network.
