LE STUDIUM opportunities for postdoctoral fellowships in region Centre-Val de Loire of France.

LE STUDIUM finances several research awards to welcome experienced international researchers in the region for a one-year residency or a few weeks in a high level host laboratory of the region Centre-Val de Loire of France.

In parallel, LE STUDIUM leads a scientific animation that allows cross-disciplinary exchanges and the creation of long lasting relationships between international research teams.

The call for applications, open from November each year to February next year, enables LE STUDIUM to select high-level candidates with ambitious research projects.

A new call has been launched on the 9th November 2015 and will close on the 8th February 2016 – 5pm local time. Рesearchers may be interested by the different award formats of the Smart Loire Valley Programme: LE STUDIUM RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP and LE STUDIUM RESEARCH PROFESSORSHIP or LE STUDIUM CONSORTIUM.

LE STUDIUM Fellowships pay for researchers' salary (12-month contract), scientific animation and accommodation. LE STUDIUM also deals with all logistics and administrative aspects (visa, residence permit, registration to social agencies, medical coverage, school for children, diverse activities…) to welcome international researchers and their family into the local community.

LE STUDIUM  invite you to consider these opportunities to build or strengthen relationships with a high-level research team and an international research community.

If you are a past LE STUDIUM RESEARCH FELLOW you are invited to consider the opportunity to apply for a LE STUDIUM RESEARCH CONSORTIUM, a particularly suitable programme to strengthen international collaborations.
