FSR Incoming postdoctoral fellowships

uclouvain |

The FSR "Incoming postdoctoral fellowships” program, which is targeted at incoming researchers, aims at reinforcing the international dimension of the UCLouvain by supporting highly-qualified post-docs from abroad.

The ultimate ambition is to build scientific and technological (S&T) collaborations and long-lasting networks between the respective research fields.

The fellowships are assigned to researchers with a PhD degree, proving their expertise and research capacity by a personal scientific record.

This funding aims to create favourable conditions for transnational mobility of highly qualified researchers through the award of postdoctoral fellowships. All scientific disciplines are eligible.

The incoming postdoctoral fellowships are intended for:

  • experienced researchers with a doctorate;
  • researchers with a maximum of five years’ postdoctoral experience;
  • researchers who are internationally mobile, i.e. who have not lived or carried out their main activity (work, study, etc.) in Belgium for more than 24 months in the three years prior to the project start date. All nationalities are eligible.


Applicants must also respond at the same time to the F.R.S.-FNRS Grants and Fellowship call.
 

Funding comprises a tax-exempt postdoctoral grant for 12-24 months that takes account of the researcher’s experience and includes third-party insurance costs, social security contributions, an operating budget and a travel allowance.
