Objectiu de la convocatòria
The Jerome Lejeune Foundation launch a call for postdoctoral fellowships with the aim to support the career development of promising young scientists working on fundamental, translational and clinical aspects of Down syndrome.
Característiques principals
Research proposals must fall within the priority research areas defined by the Jerome Lejeune Foundation strategic plan. The 2023-2024 call for FJL Postdoctoral Fellowships is aiming at supporting promising young scientists working in the following topic:
Down syndrome and co-occurring disorders
Namely, pathologies that are present also in the general population and for which people with Down syndrome are at increased risk such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism, leukaemia, epilepsy, hypotonia, immune disorders. Projects must focus on understanding relevant aspects (fundamental and/or clinical) of these co-occurring conditions in the context of Down syndrome. Projects with a therapeutic goal (mid or long-term) or dedicated to the search of direct/indirect biomarkers will also be considered. Collaborations with the Biobank BioJeL are encouraged if discussions for access to samples or to the Institut Jérôme Lejeune’s database have been initiated prior to the submission. Only research projects focusing on the above topic will be considered for funding.

Applicants of any nationality must hold a PhD degree or equivalent (MD, …) at the start of the fellowship, but not necessarily at the time of the application.
  • Applicants who already hold a PhD degree are eligible up to six years after obtention of their PhD degree. Exceptions are made for applicants with career breaks due to parental leave, mandatory military/civil service or illness.
  • A past, present or planned mobility period (ideally international) is a plus.
  • The host laboratory must have proven experience and publications in the field of Down syndrome.
  • The host laboratory can present only one candidate per session. If more than one application is submitted, all applications from the same host laboratory will be disqualified.
  • Applicants may only submit one application, for one project, to one host laboratory in each call.
  • Re-submission with the same project is permitted only once, regardless of a change of host laboratory.
  • Applicants who have already received a FJL Postdoctoral fellowship in the past are not eligible, regardless of a change of project or host laboratory.
  • Applicants with a permanent position are not eligible.
  • The request should fall within the topic of the fellowship. Proposed projects must address academic basic or medical research and not “Research & Development” linked to commercial development. However, applications to develop a basic research project within an industrial or for-profit research laboratory are eligible.
