Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Test for systemic toxicity
French term or phrase: Attachée du Directeur d'étude
Document: systemic toxicity study in the mouse.

The above term appears on the general information page of a test report. If this is of any help, it is listed between the assistant study director and the technicians. I have no other information about what the position entails.

Assistant/Deputy Study Director
Explanation:
Now that there is more context, I'm fairly sure that:
Assistante du Directeur d'étude = Assistant to the Study Director (as in secretary/administrative assistant)

Attachée du Directeur d'étude = Assistant/Deputy Study Director (as in the person who helps the study director with his/her tasks and/or replaces him/her when he/she is away)
