The IRC Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme entitled CAROLINE – ‘Collaborative Research Fellowships for a Responsive and Innovative Europe’ will provide experienced researchers with an opportunity to obtain a prestigious research mobility and career development Fellowship. Successful candidates will carry out research either in Ireland or abroad and will gain inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary exposure through this programme.
The broad theme underpinning the programme is the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300), which apply to both developed and developing countries (i.e. a global agenda). The 17 goals within Agenda 2030 are relevant for researchers across all academic disciplines and will be of interest to researchers with diverse career objectives in mind, including those within academia, civic society, and industry. Fellowships in all academic disciplines will be considered/funded.
Experienced researchers will be eligible, i.e. those researchers in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience at the time of recruitment. Candidates who have already completed a period of postdoctoral research at the time of application will be considered.
There will be two types of fellowships:
