10 Investigadores para Horizon TMA-MSCA Doctoral Networks

AUTOR: UCV

Proyecto: «Targeting RNA as an approach for treating retinal disease (RETORNA)».

 

Requisitos:

 

  • Possess a Master degree or an equivalent that allows the access to the doctoral program in the University they would like to candidate for (read the requirements for each University).
  • Be, at the date of recruitment, a doctoral candidate (i.e. not already in possession of a doctoral degree). Researchers who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will not be considered eligible.
  • Not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. Short stays, such as holidays, are not taken into account.
  • Candidates can be of any nationality.
  • Must comply with the following mobility rule: researchers are required to undertake trans-national mobility (i.e., move from one country to another) and participate in all the activities foreseen by the project when taking up the appointment (trainings, summer courses, annual meetings, lectures, participation in conferences, public activities).
  • Specific requirements for each project are detailed in the following link.
