Plant molecular genetics - short-term training fellowships
A number of short-term training fellowships are now available under the plant molecular genetics project, funded by the Community's BIOTECH specific RTD programme in the field of biotechnology. Scientists working in the field of plant molecular biology and allied disciplines from EU or EEA countries may apply for a number of fellowships of one to six months duration. Successful applicants will work in a laboratory located in a different country within the EU and EEA areas, and will be provided with a travel grant and subsistence allowance, as well as a contribution to the research costs of the host institution. Applications are invited in the following priority areas: - Plant growth factors and plant development; - Abiotic stress; - Synthesis, mobilization, translocation and partitioning of storage products; - Nitrogen utilization and efficiency. Applications may be submitted at any time, and a decision will be made within 40 days of receipt (for applications of up to three months).
