The Translational Cancer Faster Forward Doctoral Programme
“Educate tomorrow’s cancer researchers in a broad set of scientific, transferable, and business skills to become entrepreneurs”
The CanFaster program is supported by the European Union’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme, which is part of the Horizon 2020 framework and based on the ”Mobility across boarders” philosophy.
The CanFaster programme aims to attract excellent international PhD candidates with an interest in applied medical research in oncology and entrepreneurship to Lund University, CREATE health and Medicon Village.The program build on collaboration between industry, healthcare and academia to strengthen and accelerate innovations and clinical implementation in oncology. The 16 PhD students will gain an understanding of unmet needs in the clinic and learn the mind-set of entrepreneurs in an upcoming PhD programme within cancer.
16 international PhD student positions within Cancer and Entrepreneurship:
• Secondments in the non-academic sector, such as clinic or industry.
• Courses in Entrepreneurship, Innovation processes, Clinical aspects of cancer
• Seminar series at Lund University Cancer Center and SMILE Business Incubator
• Generous full-time salary; positions start Q1-Q2 2018.
Application deadline 17th of November 2017.

A postdoctoral position is available for a recent Ph.D. graduate to join the Contet laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla, CA) and study the neurobiological mechanisms of alcohol dependence. Our group investigates the proteins and neural circuits that are dysregulated by chronic alcohol exposure and their contribution to excessive drinking and other symptoms of alcohol dependence. We are looking for a candidate with strong expertise in molecular biology and histology techniques to analyze mouse brain samples for molecular quantification, cellular phenotyping and neurotracing. Additional experience with fiber photometry, microendoscopic imaging or adult brain cell sorting would be a major advantage. We are expecting a high degree of self-motivation, meticulousness, critical thinking, efficient communication and utmost research integrity.
The local scientific environment is optimal for young scientists to thrive. The Contet laboratory is part of TSRI Department of Neuroscience, Pearson Center for Alcoholism and Addiction Research, TSRI Alcohol Research Center, and TSRI Neuropsychopharmacology Training Program, which provide unique opportunities for multidisciplinary collaborations and outstanding resources for integrative training in the alcohol/drug addiction field.
This position offers standard NIH salary levels and competitive health insurance from TSRI. US citizenship or permanent residence is required for appointment to our NIH-funded Institutional Training Grant. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups are encouraged to apply.
Interested candidates should send their application material (CV, cover letter and contact information for three references) to Dr. Candice Contet (contet@scripps.edu).

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available from Jan/Feb 2018 in the Tumor Microenvironment Lab at Institut Curie-Orsay (INSERM U1021, CNRS UMR3347, University
Paris-Sud), in Paris in the fields of glioblastoma and vascular biology.
The Institut Curie Research Center (https://institut-curie.org/profil/researchers) is a world-class multidisciplinary organization created in 1909 by Nobel Laureate Marie Curie bringing together France’s largest center in cancer research and a model hospital group dedicated entirely to the care of cancer patients. The institute is ranked in the top 1% by International Science Index. The scientists of Institut Curie laboratories have access to several state-of-art core facilities (such as functional genomics, proteomics, cellular and in vivo imaging, radiotherapy, bioinformatics, animal house and many others; https://institut-curie.org/page/platforms)
Glioblastoma is the most deadly type of human cancer. Recurrence is supposedly mostly caused by the regrowth of highly invasive cells spreading from the tumor bulk, which are not removed by resection. To develop therapeutic approaches, we need to better understand the underlying molecular mechanism of radioresistance and tumor spreading in glioblastoma.
I am looking for outstanding postdoctoral cell biologists with interest in, and ideally some experience of, brain tumors and radiobiology. I am also interested in applicants with experience in vascular biology or stem cells. This ATIP-Avenir funded project will give you the opportunity to extensively use in vivo experimental models and learn intravital microscopy. These studies will be supplemented with in vitro and ex vivomodels.
I am fresh of a 5-year postdoc experience in Harvard Medical School and, after publishing the results from my projects (in press), I am now opening a new laboratory in Institut Curie.
Consequently, there are several unique features of this postdoctoral opportunity:
1. Starting at ground zero with an enthusiastic Junior Group Leader and an experienced technician
in the outstanding environment of Institut Curie.
2. The goal of publishing good and comprehensive papers in high impact journals.
3. Basic science approaches to address clinically relevant issues in conjunction with clinician
scientists.
4. I have in depth appreciation of academic, clinics and industry.
5. You will be in an international-friendly laboratory (mainly English speaking).
