Candidates to Research Associates and Research Directors positions must have a PhD (or equivalent degree). There is no nationality restriction. Inserm is the only French public research body entirely dedicated to human health. Its researchers are commited to studying all diseases, wether common or rare.
Under a partnership between Inserm and CNRS, a call for proposal is launched to: Enable young scientists to create and lead a team within an already existing structure. The ATIP - AVENIR teams will strengthen the research of the host units but will develop independently their own scientific project. Successful applicants will have to develop their projects within a structure in which they never worked before ; Promote mobility and attract young team leaders of high-level working abroad.
The Cordelier Research Center (CRC) is a center of excellence for multidisciplinary biomedical research in the center of Paris. With a staff of about 400 people, the current 19 teams focus their research on the regulation of major functions and the impact of their deregulation in the genesis and progression of diseases.
The hosting of high-level foreign researchers and professors in French research laboratories plays a crucial role in enhancing the attractiveness of France in the international context. The top candidates make their choices according to key factors such as living and working conditions as well as the ready availability of project management resources.
