PROS Europe? France? FUNDING opportunities European + Country-level funding Individual + consortium level funding Europe? France?

FUNDING . A RESEARCHER’S PATH TO SCIENTIFIC INDEPENDENCE 2009 - 2013 Marie Curie International Reintegration Grant PredictiveNeuroSens . 100k€ 2010 - 2014 . Agence Nationale pour la Recherche Jeunes Chercheurs Jeunes Chercheurs BrainTime . ~450 k€ 2011- 2016 . European Research Council Junior Starting Grant MindTime . ~1.5 m€

FUNDING . BUILDING MOMENTUM AROUND A RESEARCH GOAL 2013- 2023 – FP7 Human Brain Project Implicates around 90 laboratories across Europe ! 1 B€ (I’m part of it … starting in 2016) 2010- 2014 Academics and researchers of diverse horizons interested in time (I’m part of it … Training schools and workshops, allowed the start of several collaborative work! )

PROS WORK ENVIRONMENT - permanent positions - health and social benefits (Europe is VERY family friendly) - office space can/should have windows!! : )

17.7 T (rodents) 7 T (humans) 11.7 T (humans) 3 T (humans) MEEG

WORK ENVIRONMENT . NEUROSPIN a very impressive neuroimaging center (MRI: 3T, 7T, 11.5T(!) for humans + 17T for small animals; MEG; EEG; eyetracking; electrophysiology; genetics; etc) Neuroscience = several neuroscience teams with an additional building being created Paris-Saclay campus = leading universities are joining forces! http://www.campus-paris-saclay.fr/ Excellent tracking and communication on funding opportunities Exceptional help in handling financial matters once funded Permanent positions and promotions

PROS TEACHING CAN BE OPTIONAL INSERM, CNRS, CEA are research institutes not universities.

PROS EUROPE density and diversity of research within small distances!

PROS FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WORK ENVIRONMENT / BENEFITS package TEACHING CAN BE OPTIONAL EUROPE

CONS |PROS? BUREAUCRACY + HIERARCHY US France
