The EU-funded Horizon 2020 programme has two main strategic objectives: to strengthen the scientific and technological base of European industry and to encourage its international competitiveness, while promoting research that supports EU policies.
MEDICIS-PROMED, MEDICIS-produced radioisotope beams for medicine, is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions within H2020. MEDICIS-PROMED started on 1 January 2015 for a duration of 4 years.
For its research posts, MEDICIS-PROMED is recruiting 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). Eleven positions are funded by the EU, three of which will be recruited by CERN, with a further eight at the premises of MEDICIS-PROMED partners in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom, and four funded by the Swiss Confederation for recruitment by Swiss partners.
If you are an enthusiastic and talented student or young professional thinking of doing a doctorate, you could be a good candidate. If successful, you will be offered an employment contract with a maximum duration of 3 years in order to obtain your PhD degree with one of the European universities which are involved in MEDICIS-PROMED.
In addition to the scientific research and training, complementary training (such as communication and management) will enhance researchers' career prospects in both the public and private sectors.
