The EIPOD4 programme underlines EMBL's strong commitment to promoting interdisciplinary research. The institution has a long-standing tradition of scientific excellence that builds on highly interactive research between the group leaders of different research units. EIPOD4 projects capitalise on synergies emerging at the borders of overlapping yet separate scientific fields, and involve transferring techniques to a novel context.
The programme will offer about 20 positions in 2021. Features of the positions include:
- Funding for cross-disciplinary projects
- Three years' of secure funding
- Providing generous health care benefits and pension access
- Development of a project proposal forms the basis for recruitment
- Additional partners from academia, industry, clinics and museums are welcome
Applicants are invited to design and propose an interdisciplinary project of their choice according to scientific interest.
