Dear colleagues,

herewith I'd like to announce the 9th (and last) call for applications for Short Term Scientific Missions (STSM) in frame of the COST action FA1306: The quest for tolerant varieties - Phenotyping at plant and cellular level.

COST Short term scientific missions (STSM) provide access to labs throughout Europe and beyond for young and promising scientists (PhD students in the last year and early career investigators (ECIs), PostDocs less than 8 years after PhD) in order to get introduced and trained with respect to novel technologies of plant phenotyping (on a whole plant and molecular level, as well as integrative approaches). This COST action provides access to a network of phenotyping experts and serves as a platform to get acquainted with this interdisciplinary field by practical training in experienced labs and interdisciplinary communication.

Please find all necessary information for applications here:

https://www.plant-phenotyping.org/

Important dates:

Application deadline is 29.09.2017!

Please note that the period for execution of the exchange visits is from December 1st 2017 and March 16th 2018.

STSM also provide the possibility to support young scientists (PhDs in the last year and early PostDocs) who want to visit and establish collaborations with your lab!

Please contact me in case you have any question.

Don't hesitate to further distribute the call!

Best regards

Astrid Junker
