Call for projects: « Junior Fellowship Program » – 2024
Junior Fellowship Program : to attract the world’s most promising young research talents in the quest for a better tomorrow.
Toulouse’s research environment and the University of Toulouse
Toulouse is home to a dense and vibrant network of higher-education institutions, an academic powerhouse where 4,500 research and teaching staff welcome over 115,000 students each year. The vitality of the academic community is illustrated by many prestigious individual award holders including a Nobel-prize winner and by eight different subject areas that have been ranked in the World’s top-50 since 2017, from economics and mathematics to remote sensing. The newly created “University of Toulouse” brings together these strengths, building on the academic and scientific traditions of its founding members to create a resolutely modern academic community of international renown, serving science and society.
This call for projects is aimed at junior researchers with up to three years experience after their PhD1. However, the applicants must not have obtained their PhD from one of the members of the University of Toulouse, and must not have been employed for more than one year after the thesis in a laboratory within the scope of the University of Toulouse2.
The net salary is at least 3000 euros per month3 depending on experience. An annual budget of max. 15k€ for professional travel and laboratory running costs may be requested. Candidates are free to propose the research project of their choice, but the following criteria will be an important part of the selection procedure:
- How does the research proposed contribute to one or more of the three priority actions of the University of Toulouse. Note that interdisciplinary will be considered positively but is not a requirement.
- How will the research proposal be of mutual benefit to the fellowship holder and the host laboratory.
Recruitment will be based on merit, but the University of Toulouse is actively engaged to combat discrimination of all sorts and encourage applications from under-represented groups.
Contract duration: two years.
1Maximum three years’ post-doctoral experience at the earliest possible project start date (October 1, 2024).
2Maximum one year of employment after the thesis in a laboratory within the scope of the University of Toulouse at the earliest possible project start date (October 1, 2024).
3The researcher will benefit from free national medical insurance, as well as a set of free and good-quality public services.
