Hermes Fellowships, France (postdoctoral)
Hermes Fellowships
Hermes Fellowships were designed to offer young and promising foreign researchers in the humanities and social sciences the chance to be visiting researchers in French universities and research centers. This program is open to researchers from: China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, and South Africa.
The Hermes Program is financed by the French Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Education and Research, the Department of Human and Social Sciences of the National Center of Scientific Research (CNRS), and the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH).
Hermes fellowships are granted for 3 to 9 month periods. They were designed in order to give foreign researchers the opportunity to:
• carry out an individual research project within a hosting laboratory;
• become part of French and European scientific networks;
• set up lasting partnerships between their home institutions and the hosting institutions in France
The hosting laboratories in France – university research units or research institutions in Paris or elsewhere in the country – are chosen by the invited researchers. This decision is made in agreement with the fellowship selection committee and the scientific board of the FMSH. This joint process is intended to help candidates make the necessary contacts.
Scientific Fields Covered by the Hermes Program
All disciplines in the humanities and social sciences are eligible. However, priority is given to research projects addressing issues facing the contemporary world and those that have an interdisciplinary dimension.
Application deadlines: March 31 and September 30 of the current year
Scientific director: Hinnerk Bruhns

Vacature 090/32/066-2e/FBI
Within the Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University, the following position (m/f) is available:
PhD student in biomedical sciences ‘Autoimmunity’: Biomarker research in Rheumatoid Arthritis (2×2 years)
(mandate 090/32/066)
Background
The Biomedical Research Institute is a multidisciplinary research institute of the Hasselt University. 120 researchers and technical personnel perform molecular and cellular biomedical research. The research is focused on two main research domains: neuroinflammation and development of biosensors.
Job description
The successful applicant will be involved in a research project entitled ‘Validation of novel disease markers for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)’ of the Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) at Hasselt University. This project is aimed at validating a panel of new molecular target antigens previously identified by the serological antigen selection technology on serum of RA patients. The first goal is aimed at investigating the diagnostic and prognostic value of the RA markers. A second goal is aimed at studying the functional relevance of the RA markers in relation to disease. This project is performed in close collaboration with RA experts of the University of Ghent. The successful candidate will use a wide variety of techniques such as the production of monoclonal antibodies, immunohistochemistry, molecular biology techniques and experimental animal models.
Profile and diploma
The applicant should hold a master degree in biomedical sciences, bioengineering, biochemistry, biology, biotechnology, medicine, chemistry, or equal). Students in their last master year can also apply.

PhD student Stem Cell Research
Within the Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED) of Hasselt University, the following position (m/f) is available:
PhD student Stem Cell Research (2×2 years)
(mandate 090/32/067)
Job description
Research at the Biomedical Research Institute (BIOMED, Hasselt University) focuses on disease and repair mechanisms in neurological diseases and the development of new therapeutics for these disorders. While stem cell therapy is successful in hematology, it is far from clear whether it can be considered a realistic option for neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). In this PhD project, we will evaluate the effect of (neurally induced) easily accessible stem cell populations in animal models of MS (EAE). The major focus will be on neuroregenerative effects in combination with immune modulatory aspects. In addition, genetic engineering strategies will be evaluated to enhance therapeutical value of exogenously applied stem cells. This project is performed in close collaboration with stem cell experts of the Universities of Antwerp and Leuven. The successful candidate will use a wide variety of neuroimmunological techniques such as cell cultures, experimental animal models, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry and molecular biology.
Profile and diploma
The applicant should hold a master degree in life sciences e.g. medical sciences, biomedical sciences, bioengineering, biochemistry, biology, biotechnology or equivalent. Laboratory research experience with experimental animal model systems and/or cell culture technology is a definite plus (e.g. during the Master’s dissertation). Applicants should have excellent communication skills and sufficient knowledge of Dutch and/or English. The candidate is highly motivated to work in a multidisciplinary team. Also last year Masters students are encouraged to apply.

Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (WBGSP)
JJ/WBGS Program
In 1987, the World Bank, with funding from the Government of Japan, established the World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (WBGSP) for graduate studies in subjects related to economic development. Each year, the Program awards scholarships to individuals from World Bank member countries to undertake graduate studies at renowned universities throughout member countries of the Bank.
Now in its 23d year, the Regular Program has awarded 3,153 scholarships, selected from 58,944 applicants. In addition, 1,226 scholarships have been awarded in the various JJ/WBGSP Partnership Programs for a total of 4,379 awards.
Since the inception of the Program, the Government of Japan has provided over 204,7 million dollars to the Scholarship Program. The Program’s objective is to help create an international community of highly trained professionals working in the field of economic and social development. The World Bank and the Government of Japan require the scholars to return to their home countries on completion of their study Programs and apply their enhanced knowledge and skills to contribute to the development process in their respective regions and communities.
Starting in 1992, a number of Partnership Programs have been launched, largely to respond to the need for graduate study Programs which combine academic rigor with specialized training in the practical aspects of policy-making. The objective of these Programs is to prepare the participants for effective policy-making roles in their home countries and regions.
The World Bank administers the Program through the World Bank Institute (WBI). Policy guidance for the Program is provided by a Steering Committee comprised of three Executive Directors and five senior managers of the Bank. A Secretariat for day-to-day administration is maintained within WBI.
