We are looking for PhD students interested in experimental and mathematical approaches to epigenetic questions!
We offer 3-year fixed-term PhD positions funded by the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) “PEP-NET – Predictive Epigenetics: Fusing Theory and Experiment” within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission. We provide an international network environment for PhD students with a structured training program and support structures (supervision, career development – academic and non-academic, training including secondments, regular meetings).
The selected candidates will receive a 36-month, full-time employment contract as per Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) regulations for early stage researchers. The monthly salary will be confirmed upon offer, paid in the currency of the host country, and with a correction factor applied to the host country (additional information). Marie Curie ITNs provide a highly competitive salary to the ESR, including a generous monthly living and mobility allowance and (if eligible) a monthly family allowance.

You can only apply to projects in countries that you did not live in for more than 12 months in the last 3 years (vacation does not count).
