E-DRUG: Ph.D 2008, help and informations needed!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Please answer to Pierre-Marie Allard, NOT to E-drug. HH, moderator]
Dear E-druggers,
I am a 23 years old french student, after 5 years in pharmacy at Université de Rennes I, I'm actually following a Master's degree "Evaluation of Natural Resources" at the Univiversité de la Réunion (Indian Ocean) which validates my last year of pharmacy studies & gives me a state diploma of doctor in pharmacy. My objective, when I started my studies was to work in the field of research of therapeutics issued from natural products. The logic is to follow with a Ph.D.
Here is my problem. Since Sept 2007, I'm actively looking for a team where I could do my Ph.D.
Especialy the subject of validation of traditional medicines (ethnopharmacology, medical anthropology) and the search for natural products with antimalarial activity interests me, being convinced of their importance.
Apart from some unanswered requests, I mostly received this type of answer: "If you have a funding we accept you". However, to get funding one needs a precise thesis subject. Looks a lot like an endless circle!
So this is the object of my message. E-drug mailing list seemed a good way to get in touch with a maximum number of potentially concerned people.
If anyone has a Ph.D possibility for a docent in 2008, please advice me. For the funding question, I'm ready to find them by myself (self-funding, associative financial support ...). But I need a subject. For the thematic, the former interest me particularly, but I am open to any subject in the field of natural products. I am also mobile and speak English and Spanish fluently. I am very motivated. Please contact me for any detail on my education, diplomas, scores, letters of reference, etc).
My CV is available online on the Mediafire documents sharing website.
