Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « selection »: the laboratory may be interested in your profile, but the appointment remains subject to A*Midex approval. Start with a very clear email, with a targeted CV and a few lines connecting your work to bioinformatics for gene regulation. Keep your disability proof and evidence of a recent doctorate ready, because those are the documents that prevent a late-stage blockage. If your background includes Ribo-seq or transcript analysis, mention it early in the exchange, then submit the A*Midex dossier before December 31, 2026.

Countries covered

Open to all nationalities for scientists with disabilities who hold a doctorate in bioinformatics, computational genomics, or a related field, obtained less than three years before the start of the postdoctoral contract. The decisive point is disability status, because the funding specifically targets this group, and the doctorate must be recent at the start of the contract. Starting the position also depends on A*Midex selection and on securing the funding.
