Young International Academics for interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows
Your Role...
The University of Luxembourg has secured funding from the European Union's flagship research program, within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND. The funding will support ambitious postdoctoral research projects at the Institute for Advanced Studies - Luxembourg (IAS).
The Young International Academics (YIA) postdoctoral programme is an innovative career development programme hosted by the IAS to nurture early-career postdoctoral applicants to advance their interdisciplinary/intersectoral research. The programme began on May 1, 2023, with a total budget of four million euros.
YIA candidates are international talents implementing their own research projects through a bottom-up approach. Spread over two calls, the YIA programme invites a total of 10 postdoctoral fellows with 36-month contracts each, over a programme-lifespan of 5 years.
A unique feature of the YIA is its integration into Uni.lu’s IAS, which promotes excellence and interdisciplinarity in research. For YIA fellows, the IAS provides an excellent environment for interdisciplinary research, mentoring by IAS fellows and an international approach promoting diversity and excellence.
To be selected in this programme, which is open to all disciplines, candidates will have to bridge at least two distinct fields in bold, original, and high impact research.
Candidates will be invited to submit their proposal, which will be evaluated and ranked by an independent reviewer panel in two waves:
- first call opening on 01 September 2023 (now closed).
- second call opening on 01 February 2024 (this call).
A website dedicated to the project and containing more information about IAS Luxembourg and the YIA project is available under Home - Young International Academics "YIA" (uni.lu) .
The documents and templates for the application will be posted online on 01 February 2024 at 9am CET (for the second call) under Downloads and Links - Young International Academics "YIA" (uni.lu) .
If you have any questions, please send an email to the support team at [email protected] . Documents sent by email will not be accepted.
