25 Postdoctoral Fellowships, University of Liege, Belgium (2016-2017)

The University of Liege invites applications for twenty-five postdoctoral fellowships funded by the FP7-MSCA-COFUND “Be International PostDoc” postdoctoral programme.

Located near to the German and Dutch borders, the University of Liege (ULg) welcomes about 20,000 students on its 3 campuses (Liege, Arlon, Gembloux). It offers curricula in a comprehensive set of subjects. Teaching languages are French and in English.

The University of Liege is a “research university”, with about 2,000 PhD students, 2500 researchers and 600 professors. It devotes more than half of its annual budget to research. Its activities extend from fundamental to applied research, with strong interactions between disciplines. The ULg is very proud to contribute, in close collaboration with private companies, to the development of the Walloon region through research and the creation of spin-offs.

Liege (population size 200,000) is a friendly and affordable city where one is never alone. People speak very easily to you in the streets, on the bus or in the famous pubs of the area known as “Le Carré (the square)”. Up the hill, just beside the City centre, you can enjoy magnificent panoramic views and discover hidden gardens. Liege is extremely popular for its weekly outdoor Sunday morning market and its dynamic and modern cultural life (museum, theatre, opera, Philharmonic orchestra). Parks and gardens host families when the sun is shining. The City of Liege is also known for its intercultural diversity, due to the migrants and the numerous exchange students who choose Liege as their destination.

Fellowship duration: 24 months. The fellowship must start between 1/10/2016 and 31/12/2016.

Research areas: All research areas are eligible.
