The IFM is recruiting a zootechnician
In order to strengthen its zootechnical team, the IFM is recruiting a zootechnician who will be in charge of the breeding part of its SOPF zootechnical platform, under the direction of the manager and in compliance with the regulations in force. He/she will be in charge of the experimentation area, the operation of the laundry […]
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 […]
