Cancer Society would like to announce that from 2014 they offer 3-year qualification grants and 3-year technical positions through our main announcement.
- New scholarship for postdoctoral fellows who wish to qualify for research positions. For the first time they offer the opportunity to apply for Cancer Society qualification grant. The intention of the grant is to stimulate further development and competence in the postdoctoral period so that the candidate may later qualify for a research position. The qualification grant must be applied to by the candidate, but it is a requirement to have a mentor. The potential candidate must have completed a postdoctoral period of minimum three years to be considered. For your information, the 4 year postdoctoral grants will no longer be available.
- The 1-year technical position is replaced by a 3-year technical position. Technicians are often responsible for technical knowledge as well as providing for infrastructure and equipment, and it is in the Cancer Society’s interest that this expertise will remain in their respective research groups. By expanding the employment period, we hope to contribute to continuity and stability in the various groups. It will not be allowed to seek a renewed position. This means that the position must apply as a new position for any subsequent period. If there is a need for technical assistance for a shorter period, it can be applied to through an increased operating grant.
Please contact the Cancer Society if you have any questions regarding these changes, by mail or phone 454 84 809.
