SUMMARY:President of Ireland Young Researcher Award
DESCRIPTION:This award for young researchers from around the world aims to allow them 
 to carry out their research in third-level institutions in Ireland. The 
 award recognizes outstanding engineers and scientists who\, early in their 
 careers\, have already demonstrated or shown exceptional potential for 
 leadership at the frontiers of knowledge. Awardees will be selected on the 
 basis of exceptional accomplishments in science and engineering that 
 underpin biotechnology\, information and communications technology\, and 
 sustainable energy and energy efficient technologies\, and on the basis of 
 creative research plans that are built on work that has attracted 
 international attention.  At the end of the programme\, SFI requires the 
 host research body to offer a permanent position to the awardee\, 
 contingent upon a successful research programme as evidenced by continued 
 SFI funding throughout the programme.  A candidate must have been awarded a 
 PhD or MD within the last eight years (allowances will be made for 
 documented leave) and have completed a minimum of 24 months’ active 
 postdoctoral research. The candidate must not have not previously received 
 an SFI Award (excluding Waltons\, Research Frontiers\, Young Women in 
 Engineering Scholarship\, UREKA supplement). The cadidate must be 
 recognised by the research body upon receipt of the SFI grant as an 
 independent investigator who will have an independent office and research 
 space at the host research body for which he or she will be fully 
 responsible for at least the duration of the SFI grant.  A candidate should 
 have an exceptional record of internationally recognised independent 
 research accomplishments for his or her career stage (as measured by 
 publications in top quality international journals and conferences\, 
 invited talks at international conferences\, or other academic metrics 
 appropriate to the applicant’s field). The candidate should have 
 demonstrated research independence (or be in the process of establishing 
 independence) and shown exceptional potential to become a research leader 
 of the future.  The applicant is expected to have the capability and 
 authority to mentor and supervise postgraduate students and team members.  
 A potential candidate for the SFI PIYRA Programme can contact any Irish 
 research body and request consideration by the institution to be nominated. 
 All applications must be submitted from an eligible Irish research body.  
 The awards provide up to €1 million in direct costs\, and are given for a 
 five-year period.
