Human Technopole, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of University and Research, invites for applications for the Early Career Fellowship Programme (ECF): A programme to help talented researchers start their own independent research at Italian universities or research institutes in the field of life sciences.

The programme is open to young scientists of any nationality who have completed a doctoral degree within the last eight years. The ECF will be awarded on the condition that they choose a hosting Italian university or research institute for the development of their research project.

Early Career Fellows will receive a total "research and remuneration package" of 200,000.00 euros per year for a period of five years. The initial ECF package is intended to cover the fellow’s own position, as well as junior researchers and/or other research related costs including publication, travel and workshop costs.

The candidates will be selected according to stringent criteria of scientific excellence and on the basis of projects which are in line with Human Technopole’s areas of research centres: Genomics, Neurogenomics, Computational Biology, Structural Biology, and Analysis, Decision and Society.
