Eighty five percent of INSERM's units are implanted within University Hospitals. The Institute of Psychiatry is a postgraduate medical school associated with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, and is a School of King's College, University of London. The Institute has approximately 550 students and over 900 staff. A formal collaborative research agreement has been established between the Department of Epidemiology and Health Services Research at the Institute of Psychiatry and INSERM Unit 888 ‘Pathologies of the Nervous System: Epidemiological and Clinical Research’ in Montpellier France. This collaboration, known as a European Associated Laboratory (EAL) aims to develop joint research projects and teaching programmes (including joint post-graduate research supervision). As part of the creation of the EAL a post-doctoral post (poste vert) has been funded by INSERM which is open to candidates from the United Kingdom with qualifications in either mental health or epidemiology.

The candidate will also be expected to further his/her own research interests using existing joint population data bases. The candidate may also develop a future project within the proposed European study. The gross salary for the post will be 2 400 to 2 900 Euros per month depending on the qualifications of the candidate.
