6th June 2014
Dear All
Instruct provides access to
state-of-the-art infrastructure
and technology to support
research in structural biology.
Our aim is to encourage and
facilitate the integrative use
of technologies and
methodologies that are
available at our 15 Instruct
Centres around Europe and in
Israel.The Instruct Internship
Programme funds research visits
of 3-6 months duration to
Instruct Centres. The aim is to
facilitate valuable
collaborations with Instruct
research groups applying
techniques that are not
available in the applicant's
laboratory. Applications should
specifically focus on the
benefit to the applicant's
research.
* Internships cover travel
plus subsistence of the
intern only and not of
dependents.
* Applications should be
pre-doctoral scientists Instruct
(PhD students) and early Upcoming Events
stage postdoctoral fellows.
* Internships are awarded for
exchanges between 8th June
laboratories in different
countries. Residential School
* Proposals must have the on Medicinal
approval of the hosting Chemistry and
Institution or Department. Biology in Drug
* Internships from the 2014 Discovery (ResMed)
fund should be taken within
the period 1 September 2014 11th June
to 31 July 2015.
* The home laboratory Structural Modeling
(applicant's usual for Large
workplace) must be within Macromolecular
an Instruct Member country. Complexes
* On completion of the
internship applicants must 16th June
return to their home
laboratory. Fifth Workshop on
Neutron Scattering
The second Instruct call for Applications in
Research and Development pilot Structural Biology
projects is now open Instruct
A maximum of €20,000 per
project will be awarded to
support a limited number of
pilot studies proposed by
researchers from Instruct
member countries (BE, CZ, DE,
ES, FR, IL, IT, NL, PT, SE,
UK). Projects should propose
basic or applied research which
is preliminary in nature. The
intent of this support is to
help researchers develop
external funding for projects,
i.e. the expectation is that a
pilot study will lead to a full
grant submission. The funds are
expected to cover research
expenses but not normally
salaries.
To apply go to
www.structuralbiology.eu
The deadline for both
applications is 5pm CET
11^th July 2014.
