Gestalte deine berufliche Zukunft als EMBL CPP Visitor Fellowships (for external PhDs and postdocs) bei European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Deutschland

EMBL is among the world’s highest ranked scientific research organisations aimed to explore the secrets of life. EMBL integrates 27 member states and employs close to 1800 people across its six research sites in Barcelona, Cambridge (Hinxton), Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, and Rome. Its headquarters is located in Heidelberg (Germany) and integrate both research groups and core facilities.

Training of the next generation of scientists is one of EMBL’s key missions. The EMBL Corporate Partnership Programme invites applications for short-term fellowships amounting up to to 2.500 EUR to enable junior level scientific visitors (active PhD/postdoc fellows) to carry out experimental projects with an EMBL host research group, thereby allowing them to build new networks, experience the international and interactive environment at EMBL, in addition to experiencing progress of their own research goals.

These fellowships are run by the Scientific Visitor Programme office to provide logistic and organisational support to successful awardees before and during their stay. The funds are provided as reimbursements against cost and are flexible with other funding sources available to the awardees (i.e. can act as a top-up) – as long as all sources of funding are declared to the Scientific Visitor Programme office.

The successful fellow(s) is/are hosted by an EMBL research group, where they will successfully undertake the research project proposed in the application form, in conjunction with their EMBL group leader.
