EMBO postdoctoral fellowships for international mobility

EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships support excellent postdoctoral researchers throughout Europe and the world for a period of up to two years. International mobility is a key requirement. The fellowship includes a salary or stipend, a relocation allowance and support for fellows with children. Awardees can attend an EMBO Laboratory Leadership course and become part of the global network of EMBO Fellows.

Five additional EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships are reserved for researchers applying to work in one of the following countries: Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia, and Turkey. 

Applicants must hold a doctorate or equivalent at the start of the fellowship. The degree must be obtained during the two years prior to the application. Applicants must have at least one first author publication accepted in or published in an international peer reviewed journal at the time of application.

Applications and supporting documentation (two references, receiving institute acceptance) are only accepted via the online application system. Only fully completed applications will be considered. Applications for EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships are accepted throughout the year and enter one of two evaluation cycles depending on the time of submission.
