We invite applications for international programs that support postdoctoral investigators who explore new research areas. Long-Term Fellowships are reserved for applicants with a Ph.D. in a biological discipline to embark on a new project in a different field of the life sciences. Preference is given to applicants who propose an original study in biology that marks a departure from their previous Ph.D. or postdoctoral work so as to learn new methods or change study system. 2009-08-27 http://grantsnet.org/search/pgm_info.cfm?pgm_id=3674 The Human Frontier Science Program offers fellowships for basic research training in the life sciences across national and scientific boundaries. We invite applications for international programs that support postdoctoral investigators who explore new research areas. Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships are open to applicants with a Ph.D. from outside the life sciences e.g. in physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences who have had limited exposure to biology during their previous training. 2009-08-27 http://grantsnet.org/search/pgm_info.cfm?pgm_id=5198 The overall objective of the programme is to engage outstanding researches from abroad in creating research teams in Poland and intensifying international cooperation of the Polish institutes and universities. 2009-12-15 http://grantsnet.org/search/pgm_info.cfm?pgm_id=4623 Fulbright/Nord-Pas de Calais Regional Council awards will be granted to four to six Americans to conduct research in Nord-Pas de Calais for periods of three to twelve months.
