The Institute for Health & Consumer Protection (IHCP) within the European
Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has published a call for doctoral
and postdoctoral fellows (grantholders):

http://ihcp.jrc.ec.europa.eu/job/Grantholders_open_calls.htm

This includes the following positions:

1) Research into the applicability of computational methods in the assessment
   of nanoparticles (IHCP2008-GH05-I03)

2) Development of computational approaches for the regulatory assessment
   of chemicals (IHCP2008-GH06-I03)

3) Integrated Testing Strategies for the regulatory assessment of chemicals
   (IHCP2008-GH08-I03)

4) Application of chemical grouping methods as a means of applying Threshold
   of Toxicological and Environmental Concern methods in the assessment of
   chemicals(IHCP2008-GH09-I03)

Further information on the fellowships (job profiles, conditions, and
application procedure) is provided at the above-mentioned website.
The deadline for applications is 4 April 2008 at midday.

Information on the computational toxicology activities of the IHCP is
given at: http://ecb.jrc.it/qsar/

I would be grateful if you could pass this information onto any young
researchers who might be interested.

Yours sincerely
