EU training felloships on: DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION OF ANIMAL FORM

9 EARLY STAGE STUDENTSHIPS (PHD OR SHORT-TERM TRAINING) AND 8 EXPERIENCED RESEARCHER FELLOWSHIPS (POSTDOCTORAL) ARE AVAILABLE IN THE MARIE CURIE RESEARCH TRAINING NETWORK "ZOONET":
DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION OF ANIMAL FORM: TRAINING MODERN COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGISTS.
ZOONET brings together 9 leading European research groups from 5 European countries for a co-ordinated, multidisciplinary study of the evolution of animal diversity and form.
The training network will recruit 9 early stage researchers with 0-4 years experience (minimum B.Sc. or equivalent) and 8 experienced researchers with 4-10 years of experience (postdocs) for long-term studentships/fellowships for 2-3 years. Applications for short-term training visits, between 3-12 months, will also be considered.
The training and research will consist of a diversity of approaches aimed at increasing our understanding of the evolutionary patterns and processes that have resulted in the enormous diversity of animal forms living today. The recruited fellows will benefit from training in relevant aspects of diverse research fields including comparative embryology, molecular systematics, palaeontology, molecular biology and bioinformatics.
ZOONET is funded by the European Unions 6th Framework Programme for four years from 1 Jan 2005. Applicants should not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host institution for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the start date.
