Application as permanent staff scientist at Institut Pasteur
Deadline for application: Monday 8 January 2024 at 5:00 pm
Prerequisites for application
- To have defended his/her PhD thesis before submitting the application.
- To have identified a research structure and obtained the written agreement/support of its PI. It is also important to have already started collaborating with the PI/staff members of that structure as evidenced by one original publication/preprint and/or participation to a successful grant/fellowship application(s). If the continuity of the initial host structure is not secured beyond 2 years (end of mandate, retirement of the PI, …), the candidate must also have identified a subsequent host lab and the written agreement of its PI.

It is recommended to consult the list of criteria used for the evaluation by the COMESP before completing the application.

Deadline for the application: 8 January 2024 (5:00 pm)
It is mandatory that the candidate mentions any situation that obviously, potentially, or apparently constitutes a conflict of interests according to the charter for the prevention and management of conflicts of interests in force at Institut Pasteur: the provision of support to a relative constitutes a conflict of interests. A conflict of interests arises from a situation in which a person intervening within or on behalf of Institut Pasteur has, in a personal and/or professional capacity, interests that influence (1), could influence (2) or appear to influence (3) the way in which he/she carries out his/her duties, of his or her missions and responsibilities entrusted to him or her by the Institut Pasteur and this to the detriment of his or her obligations of impartialitý and objectivity.
Thus, the candidate should mention all conflict of interests with a member of the COMESP in the dedicated space in the CV (to be discussed with the PI).
Send by mail to the Scientific Careers and Assessment Department (DCES) the application composed of the 3 independent files listed below (dcs@pasteur.fr)
– Curriculum vitae (LASTNAME_CV2024.pdf). This document will be sent to all the committee (COMESP) members susceptible to participate in that session.
– Full application (LASTNAME_application2024.pdf). This document will be sent to all the committee (COMESP) members once conflicts of interests have been ruled out.
– Review form completed by you for the short CV (word document) (LASTNAME_GridSpring2024.docx). This form will be made available to all COMESP members once completed by your “rapporteur”/evaluator.
Send one copy of your application to the PI and to the Chair of the department. The PI should send his·her letter of support to the DCES (LASTNAMEof the candidate_LoS_NAMEof the PI_2024.pdf).
As supporting a closely related individual represents a conflict of interests, the PI concerned should ask the N + 1 to write the assessment for him·her (contact dcs@pasteur.fr if needed).
Request letters of support/recommendation from a maximum of 3 scientists (in addition to the PI). These letters should be sent to dcs@pasteur.fr as pdf file (LASTNAMEoftheCandidate_LoS_NAMEoftheScientist_2024.pdf). These letters should not be included in the application file.
