IPNP hosts a total of 14 junior and senior teams devoted to integrated basic and clinical research in psychiatry and neuroscience.
We are seeking junior principal investigators wishing to join IPNP in order to develop projects in Psychiatry or Neurosciences in line with IPNP interdisciplinary research areas (https://ipnp.paris5.inserm.fr/research/research-areas).

Successful candidates must have defended their doctoral thesis (or obtained any degree or qualification equivalent to an international PhD) for more than 3 years and less than 8 years, have strong postdoctoral experience and meet criteria for obtaining French institutional research positions (INSERM, University) as well as national starting grants (such as Atip-Avenir, ANR-JC, FRM Amorçage or equivalent) and/or international funding (ERC StG, CoG). These positions are intended for first-time group leaders. Applicants should notably consider applying for ATIP-Avenir call, deadline by the end of November 2024 (https://eva3-accueil.inserm.fr/sites/eva/appels-a-projets/Pages/Atip-Avenir.aspx).

Projects with potential collaboration with at least one current team of IPNP will receive a higher priority.
