The Global BioImaging project entails an international job shadowing program that aims to give the opportunity to the project’s stakeholders to visit imaging facilities across the globe and learn from their peers.

The program allows both the hosting facilities and their guests to exchange experiences and ideas, while working on innovative imaging technologies and the related technical aspects. It also has the added value to support networking and prepare possible future collaborations between imaging infrastructures.

After the success of the first round of the Global BioImaging shadowing program, which took place during 2017, the call for the second round is now open!

Imaging facility staff members within the Global BioImaging (GBI) Project Network (Euro-BioImaging, Australian National Imaging Facility, Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility, India-BioImaging) who wish to make a period of job shadowing at another GBI imaging facility can now apply to the program. Visits are foreseen to be international (from Europe to India/Australia and vice versa).

A limited number of travel grants is available for this second round of shadowing.

Applications will be scored by a panel of international external experts on the basis of applicants’ CVs and compliance between their positions and the requested job shadowing. The travel grants will be assigned to the highest scoring applications.You can find below the general guidelines for the shadowing program and a list of hosting facilities. Please read these documents carefully and if interested apply to the program by filling-in the on-line form at the following link: https://www.research.net/r/gbijobshadowing . Please be aware that you will be asked to upload a CV and a letter of approval from your supervisor/facility manager.
