ALECS is an innovative fellowship programme coordinated by Lero - the Irish Software Research Centre. The initiative is co-funded by the European Commission under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme, and by Science Foundation Ireland, through Lero. The aim of the programme is to provide training and career development to researchers through providing international mobility and intersectoral exposure. As a Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellowship, ALECS offers high quality professional opportunities open to researchers of any age, nationality and discipline who comply with the programme's eligibility criteria.
ALECS invites applications from candidates who possess a PhD degree, and from candidates who do not have a PhD but who have at least 4 years full-time equivalent research experience.
A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or in a related discipline is not mandatory. Applications are open to candidates from complementary disciplines provided their proposal has received the support of an ALECS academic supervisor.
All fellowships will be based in Ireland where fellows will be hosted by their ALECS academic supervisor's institution.
As mobility is key to Marie Sklodowska Curie actions, applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity in Ireland for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the call deadline.
