The IFM is recruiting a tenured zootechnician
In order to strengthen its zootechnical team, the IFM is recruiting a zootechnician who will join a team of 5 people, under the direction of the department manager. His/her main mission will be to take care of the animals housed and to monitor their health status. In parallel, the zootechnician will be required to carry […]
C-BRAINS: supporting Neuroscience et Cognitives Sciences in Ile-de-France
On February 16, 2022, the Regional Council of Ile-De-France voted to create 9 new Major Innovation and Research Areas (DIM). The C-BRAINS project, a DIM dedicated to Neurosciences and Cognitive Sciences in Ile-de-France, was selected for funding for 2022-2026. This project brings together >200 research teams located on 17 sites in the Ile-de-France region, as […]
