description

The European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM) Fellowship Programme was launched in 1990 to enable young scientists to perform research at ERCIM institutes. The fellowships are available for PhD holders from all over the world.

The objective of the programme is to enable bright young scientists to work collectively on a challenging problem as fellows of leading European research centers. In addition, an ERCIM fellowship helps widen and intensify the network of personal relations and understanding among scientists. The programme offers the opportunity for ERCIM fellows to

• improve their knowledge about European research structures and networks,
• familiarize themselves with working conditions in leading European research centres, and
• promote cross-fertilization and cooperation between research groups working in similar areas in different laboratories, through the fellowships.

Applicants must

• have a PhD degree (or equivalent) obtained during the last four years prior to the application deadline, or be in the last year of the thesis work with an outstanding academic record,
• be fluent in English, and
• be discharged or get deferment from military service.

Only ERCIM members can host fellows. A member institute will not be eligible to host a candidate of the same nationality.

The fellowships are of 18 months’ duration. The fellow will receive a monthly allowance for the whole period of 18 months, which will vary depending on the country (the range is €500 in the Czech Republic to €3050 in Norway). Costs for travelling to and from the institutes will be paid, but not moving expenses.
