Postdoctoral Fellows at University of Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg faculties and interdisciplinary centres focus on research in the areas of Computer Science and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance and Financial Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine.

The Young International Academics (YIA) postdoctoral programme is an innovative career development programme hosted by the IAS to nurture early-career postdoctoral applicants to advance their interdisciplinary/intersectoral research. The programme began on May 1, 2023, with a total budget of four million euros.

YIA candidates are international talents implementing their own research projects through a bottom-up approach. Spread over two calls, the YIA programme invites a total of 10 postdoctoral fellows with 36-month contracts each, over a programme-lifespan of 5 years.

A unique feature of the YIA is its integration into Uni.lu’s IAS, which promotes excellence and interdisciplinarity in research. For YIA fellows, the IAS provides an excellent environment for interdisciplinary research, mentoring by IAS fellows and an international approach promoting diversity and excellence.

To be selected in this programme, which is open to all disciplines, candidates will have to bridge at least two distinct fields in bold, original, and high impact research.
