CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The HFSP fellowship program supports proposals for fron
 tier\, potentially transformative research in the life sciences. Applicati
 ons for high-risk projects are particularly encouraged. The projects shoul
 d be interdisciplinary in nature and should challenge existing paradigms b
 y using novel approaches and techniques. Scientifically\, they should addr
 ess an important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.\n\nHFSP po
 stdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their 
 research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new c
 ountry.\n\nTwo different fellowships are available:\n \n\n	Long-Term Fell
 owships (LTF) are for applicants with a PhD on a biological topic who want
  to embark on a novel and frontier project focussing on the life sciences.
 \n	Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) are for applicants who hold a doct
 oral degree from a non-biological discipline (e.g. physics\, chemistry\, m
 athematics\, engineering or computer sciences) and who have not worked in 
 the life sciences before.\n\n\nFunding:       Living allowance accord
 ing to host country (see Guidelines)\, as well as a research and travel al
 lowance.\n\nDuration:      36 months\n\nEligibility: A summary of elig
 ibility criteria is given below. For full details\, please see the Guideli
 nes.\n \n\n	Anyone from any country and any nationality can apply for a f
 ellowship. A candidate who is not a national of one of the HFSPO members (
 see Guidelines) may apply to work only in a research institution in one of
  the member countries. A candidate who is a national of one of the member 
 countries can apply to work in a research institution in any country.\n	Ap
 plicants must propose to work in a country different to the one where they
  did their previous PhD work or first post-doctoral studies. For those ins
 titutions that are not classified as national\, i.e. international or extr
 aterritorial institutions such as EMBL\, ICPT or ICGEB\, the country in wh
 ich the laboratory is located will be considered the host country.\n	A res
 earch doctorate (PhD) or a doctoral-level degree comparable to a PhD with 
 equivalent experience in basic research (e.g. a research based MD or medic
 al PhD) must be conferred by the start of the fellowship\, but is not requ
 ired at the time of submission. If PhD has already been awarded\, The degr
 ee must have been conferred in the 3 years prior to the submission deadlin
 e\n	Applicants must propose a research topic different to that of their Ph
 D and previous postdoctoral work. The proposal must align with the mission
  and objectives of HFSP and the scientific scope of the HFSP Fellowship pr
 ogram.\n	Applicants must have at least one lead author publication by the 
 submission deadline of the Letter of Intent which can be a manuscript (i) 
 published in a recognized OA preprint repository\, or\, (ii) accepted for 
 publication\, (iii) in press or (iv) already published by a peer reviewed 
 journal.\n\n\nHow to Apply: Applications will follow a two-step submission
