[ HFSP – Long-term Fellowship & Cross Disciplinary Fellowship | Postdoctoral Fellowship Funding ]
Event details
| Date | 26.05.2021 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The HFSP postdoctoral fellowship program supports proposals for frontier, potentially transformative research in the life sciences. Applications for high-risk projects are particularly encouraged. The projects should be interdisciplinary in nature and should challenge existing paradigms by using novel approaches and techniques. Scientifically, they should address an important problem or a barrier to progress in the field.
HFSP postdoctoral fellowships encourage early career scientists to broaden their research skills by moving into new areas of study while working in a new country.
Long-Term Fellowships (LTF) are for applicants with a PhD in a biological discipline, who will broaden their expertise by proposing a project in the life sciences which is significantly different from their previous PhD or postdoctoral work.
Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships (CDF) are for applicants with a PhD from outside the life sciences (e.g. in physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or computer sciences).
Note: Major changes in calendar and application procedure
see details below
Guidelines for LTF here.
Guidelines for CDF here
Deadlines:
Funding: CHF 261’432 for Switzerland, plus child and relocation allowance if applicable
Duration: 36 months
Eligibility: Refer to the guidelines above for full detail.
1) Anyone from any country and any nationality can apply for a fellowship. A candidate who is not a national of one of the HFSPO members 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.
2) Applicants 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 institutions that are not classified as national, i.e. international or extraterritorial institutions such as EMBL, ICPT or ICGEB, the country in which the laboratory is located will be considered the host country.
3) A research doctorate (PhD) or a doctoral-level degree comparable to a PhD with equivalent experience in basic research (e.g. a research-based MD or medical PhD) must be conferred by the start of the fellowship, but is not required at the time of submission. If PhD has already been awarded, the degree must have been conferred in the 3 years prior to the submission deadline
4) Applicants must have at least one lead author, full-length research paper-either accepted for publication, in press or published -in an international peer-reviewed journal or published on a preprint server such as bioRxiv by the deadline in order to be eligible to apply.
