Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
The Department of International Affairs of the Institut Pasteur is launching an international call for applications for future leader of 4-Year Groups (G4) within the Institut Pasteur in Côte d’Ivoire. The candidate will be appointed head of a research group for 4 years and will receive start-up funding that includes his/her own salary and potentially that of engineers, technicians and doctoral students, as well as basic laboratory equipment and an operating budget.
This five-year group will be part of the Neuroscience Department and will be directed by Christophe Schmidt-Hieber.
The Institut Pasteur's association for young researchers, StaPa, is running a seminar entitled "The biochemical roots of the RNA World Hypothesis", run by Antonio Lazcano.
Have you ever been asked to measure your h-index? To find your publications? To assess the number of times they have been cited?
The annual social data report contains key figures that provide a comprehensive picture of the Institut Pasteur's personnel structure, the achievements made and the changes that have occurred over the last year and in the two previous years.
On June 2, several of you attended the workshop on the interaction between science and society.

► Focus on: Call for proposals: One Health – foodborne zoonoses
The Institut Pasteur is a partner of the European "Med Vet EJP" project, which was set up to develop research projects in the field of One Health – foodborne zoonoses. This innovative project is really more like a research program, with scientific priorities and calls for proposals set by scientific experts, including scientists from the Institut Pasteur. Two calls for proposals will be launched: one in 2016 and one in 2019. For this year, the following topics have been identified:
I - Foodborne zoonoses
• FBZ1 : Improved surveillance system and harmonized data analyses
• FBZ2 : Development and harmonisation of NGS-based methods for detection and tracing of FBZ agents, emerging threats and AMR determinants
• FBZ3 : Biosecurity and other interventions
• FBZ4 : Source attribution and transmission routes
II - Antimicrobial resistance
• AMR1 : Development and harmonization of phenotypic methods
• AMR2 : Epidemiological studies into the dynamics of AMR in human and animals populations and the environment including horizontal gene transfer and selection of AMR
• AMR3 : Risk Assessment AMR
III - Emerging threats
• ET1: Development and harmonisation of non-NGS-based methods for detection of FBZ agents and emerging threats
IV - Integrative topics list
• 1. IA Surveillance data - Standardised data formats and ontologies
• 2. IA Joint platform for sharing surveillance data
A letter of intent should be submitted by July 8, 2016. A full application is requested for September 18, 2016. The letter of intent (three pages long) should be fairly straightforward to produce, especially since applicants are free to negotiate the content of their initial proposal between the first and second review stages.
Anyone interested should contact David Itier: david.itier@pasteur.fr
