Subject: Write MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship applications with
       the University of Bologna
Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2024 09:19:39 -0500

Dear All,

We are looking for two to three postdoctoral fellows who are interested in
writing a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Postdoctoral
Fellowship project to work at the University of Bologna (Italy)
(https://www.unibo.it/en/homepage), Department of Agricultural and Food
Sciences (https://distal.unibo.it/en/index.html), in the Animal and Food
Genomics Group (https://site.unibo.it/...and-food-genomics/en).

One candidate will be selected for each of these three topics: 1) Pig
genetics/genomics and metabolomics; 2) Cattle genetics/genomics and
metabolomics; 3) Apiculture/honey bee genomics.

If you are interested, please contact us by the 30th of April 2024.

The call for applications will open on the 9th of April 2024 and the
deadline will be on the 11th of September 2024. Results of the applications
will be available in February 2025 and the Grant can start from May-June
2025.

The University of Bologna is a top-ranked university in Italy, the first
university in Italy for attractiveness of Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe
funds in the Agricultural and Bioeconomy sectors, the first university in
Italy in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024 Agriculture &
Forestry. The Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences is a
Department of Excellence in Italy (2023-2025), as defined by the Italian
Ministry of Research.

We offer a vibrant and international environment, equipped and modern
laboratories and computational infrastructures, already secured competitive
research funds and competencies to carry on research projects in the fields
of 1) pig breeding, genetics, genomics, and metabolomics; 2) cattle
breeding, genetics, genomics and metabolomics; 3) apicultural genomics.

We are also working in several other fields, including rabbit genomics,
aquaculture genomics, environmental DNA, food authentication and
traceability and livestock phenomics, that could be eventually considered
for the application.

If you are not currently residing in Italy and would like to submit a Marie
Sklodowska-Curie Action application for a European Postdoctoral Fellowship
with us, please contact and send us your CV by the 30th of April 2024.

We will provide you with writing guidance, support, and contacts. Selected
candidates will be given the opportunity to attend an online course, paid
by the University of Bologna, to familiarize themselves with the MSCA
application.

Any nationality can apply for the European Postdoctoral Fellowships based
on the following rules:

- Should have a PhD degree at the time of the deadline for applications.
Applicants who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but have
not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will also be considered
eligible to apply;

- Must have a maximum of eight years of experience in research, from the
date of the award of their PhD degree, years of experience outside research
and career breaks will not count towards the above maximum, nor will years
of experience in research in third countries, for nationals or long-term
residents of EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries who
wish to reintegrate to Europe;

- Should comply with mobility rules: they must not have resided or carried
out their main activity in Italy for more than 12 months in the 36 months
immediately before the call deadline.

For any information and discussion about possible projects and how life is
in Bologna, do not hesitate to contact us. Remember that the sooner we are
contacted, the more support we can provide in writing the grant. An
interview will be planned, and only the most valuable candidates will be
selected.

Best wishes,
