NCMM aims to continue to develop its scientific and technological capabilities by establishing strong collaborative links with key scientists and research groups across Norway, thus facilitating translational networking. This call for proposals is directed towards the appointment of Associate Investigators in molecular and translational medicine. The Associate Investigator category is meant for outstanding senior scientists who are currently based in Norway, whose expertise is compatible with the NCMM research areas and who are interested in collaborating with NCMM. Associate Investigators will be included in the NCMM senior investigator network and will be expected to contribute with their expertise in molecular and translational medicine and be active in mentoring activities towards newly recruited NCMM Group Leaders and Young Associate Investigators. Associate Investigators will continue working at their host institutions, and will be credited an affiliation to NCMM. Nominations will be made for three years and will be renewable.
NCMM Associate Investigators
Both internationally known top scientists and scientific leaders with a track-record and research focus in molecular medicine and more junior faculty with outstanding potential in this field are invited to apply. The successfully affiliated group leaders will enjoy the following benefits:
- Status as an Associated Investigator in the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine
- Affiliation with NCMM with the option to contribute to NCMM scientific strategies, planning and priorities
- Access to a translational network and infrastructures at NCMM and in the Nordic EMBL Partnership
- Eligibility for translational funds for collaboration with NCMM group leaders made available by the Board.
Applications for Associate Investigator status will be reviewed by an evaluation committee, appointed by the NMCC Board. Criteria for recruitment will be one or more of the following: i) Excellence in molecular medicine; ii) Translational merits and ability to build networks that bridge from basic science to clinical medicine; iii) Scientific profile compatible with and/or bringing novel elements to the scientific, technological and translational mission of NCMM; and iv) Added value and synergism in interaction with present and future NCMM investigators.
Applicants should submit an electronic application with an overview of translational/molecular medicine research activities and opening for collaborations with NCMM (max 3 pages) and include their CV, and list of publications (max 10 from the last 5 years).
For further information please contact Director, Professor Kjetil Taskén.
Applications should be addressed to the Director of NCMM and sent electronically as a single PFD-file to the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway.
Application deadline: 1 September 2015
