European Virtual Institute for Malaria Research (EviMalaR)

The European Virtual Institute of Malaria Research (EVIMalaR) network invites applications for fellowship awards. Three awards are envisaged and each award will be for 3 years.

It seeks to integrate malaria research that is directed towards a better understanding of the basic knowledge of the parasite, its vector and of the biology of the interactions between the parasite and both its mammalian host and vectors.
