Objectiu de la convocatòria
The EIPOD programme underlines EMBL’s strong commitment to promoting interdisciplinary research. The institution has a long-standing tradition of scientific excellence that builds on highly interactive research between the group leaders of different research units. EIPOD projects capitalise on synergies emerging at the borders of overlapping yet separate scientific fields, and involve transferring techniques to a novel context. The programme is open to all nationalities and offers about 20 positions annually.

Característiques principals
In 2018, EMBL and Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions will fund about 15 EIPOD positions, involving at least two research groups, preferably located in different units. Each project will have one scientific supervisor from EMBL who will officially host the EIPOD, but all projects will involve extensive collaboration with the EMBL partner lab(s). External partners from academia or industry are welcome. All applicants must develop a research proposal as part of their application and should get directly in contact with potenatial EMBL supervisors to prediscuss projects prior to submission.

Features of the positions include
  • Funding for cross-disciplinary projects
  • Three years' of secure funding
  • Providing generous health care benefits and pension access
  • Development of a project proposal forms the basis for recruitment
  • Additional partners from academia or industry are welcome

    The EI3POD programme builds upon the orignal EIPOD programme which was designed to support interdisciplinary research projects involving two or more EMBL labs. The new scheme offers the additional possibility for fellows to take part in international/inter-institutional collaborations or an intersectorial experience while carrying out interdisciplinary research. The “I” in EI3POD refers to the three career modules supported by the programme:
    1. Interdisciplinary EIPOD
    2. International/inter-institutional EIPOD
    3. Intersectorial EIPOD

    Requisits
    Interdisciplinarity is the basis of the EIPOD fellowship programme. As such we welcome applications from highly motivated fellows interested in moving into a new area of research. It is envisaged that fellows bring their specific skill sets to an EIPOD project and benefit from acquiring a new set of skills. Many EIPOD research projects involve groups located at different EMBL sites. Additional external partners from academia and industry are also welcome. As such mobility is an asset.

    We recruit EIPOD fellows from a wide range of backgrounds including, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, medicine, engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science and bioinformatics. Interdisciplinarity is an important strength of research at EMBL and as such we welcome fellows interested in moving into a new area of research.

    The EIPOD fellowship programme is open to all nationalities, the only criteria being scientific excellence and interdisciplinarity. You must have your PhD (or 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience) before you can start your EIPOD position. We welcome applications from scientists who are currently doing postdoctoral research at another institution. Postdocs at EMBL are also eligible to apply provided that previous affiliation with EMBL does not exceed 12 months in the last three years prior to the submission deadline.
