Are you interested in a two-year postdoc stay with EU funding to work on your dream project?
And are you keen on having the Faculty of Health at Aarhus University as your host?
If so, you should apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (MSCA-IF). The fellowships are a scheme under the largest research and innovation programme in EU history, Horizon 2020, and the aim is to promote excellent research across borders.
If you meet the requirements and are in contact with a potential supervisor at the Faculty of Health, you have the opportunity to participate in a three-day masterclass at Aarhus University.
You can apply from December 2020 to the deadline: 15 March 2021.
The outcome of the masterclass is that you:
If selected for the masterclass, your travel costs and accommodation (three nights) will be covered.
We are looking for ambitious candidates with original research ideas that will add something new and maybe ground-breaking to the Faculty of Health. We expect you to be enthusiastic about the research areas in which our departments work. In other words: we are looking for the most promising, individual, young researchers to carry out their dream research projects at our faculty.
MSCA fellowships are flexible in terms of research focus and pay a generous salary for grant recipients over 2 years. To be eligible to apply with our department as host, the fellow must fulfill mobility and experience requirements. The main rules are:
