CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Early Career Investigators
to join EURO-CHOLANGIO-NET COST Action

 

 

EURO-CHOLANGIO-NET (European Cholangiocarcinoma Network) is actively seeking early career investigators (8 years from PhD) to join and promote our Action, beginning from our first working group set-up meeting on 12-13 September in Valletta, Malta.

EURO-CHOLANGIO-NET is a four-year COST grant-funded action that aims to set up a pan-European interdisciplinary network of stakeholders, including scientists, clinicians, regulatory authorities, small/medium enterprises (SMEs), and industry partners, in order to address the problem of cholangiocarcinoma.

This Action is coordinating efforts to advance the understanding of cholangiocarcinoma and the translation of basic research and preclinical findings into clinical practice through the creation of shared data registries that include relevant basic and clinical-epidemiological aspects as well as through the use of conference calls, meetings, workshops, short-term scientific missions, and training schools. This Action is composed of seven working groups that deal with specific, interrelated aspects of cholangiocarcinoma: 1) preclinical, 2) in-depth histomorphological phenotyping, 3) molecular profiling, 4) epidemiology, clinical characterization and trials, 5) early diagnostic biomarkers, 6) development of novel therapeutic targets and tools, and 7) legislation and ethics.

What we are looking for:
We are seeking early career investigators (
8 years from PhD) to help us actively implement our Action and expand our network over the four-year duration of this Action. For this reason, we invite interested early career investigators to submit their proposals that address how we can achieve deliverables, plan multidisciplinary projects involving working groups, encourage capacity-building objectives for involving more women and young investigators, and expand our network.

Please refer to the Memorandum of Understanding on our website for more information about our Action, deliverable objectives, implementation strategies, and working groups:https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA18122/#downloads.

 

How to apply:

Dynamic candidates can apply by submitting a motivation letter that includes a short proposal that addresses how we can achieve deliverables, plan multidisciplinary projects involving working groups, encourage capacity-building objectives for involving more women and young investigators, and expand our network and a one-page CV for consideration to vincenzo.cardinale@uniroma1.it.

The deadline for applications is July 31, 2019.

Selected applicants will have the opportunity to present their proposals as abstracts/pitch presentations inValletta, Malta on September 12, 2019 and have their eligible flight, hotel, and meal expenses reimbursed.
