IRIS COFUND postdoctoral fellowships - 1st CALL OPEN

Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB)

Sciences de la vie
Sciences exactes et appliquées
Sciences humaines et sociales

The programme period will take place between 2025 and 2030 and will open two calls, each offering 18 positions (12 at ULB and 6 at VUB) open to all fields of research, according to a bottom-up approach. During the fellowship, IRIS postdocs will benefit from an environment that fosters academic growth and well-being. Fellows will engage in optional secondments and short visits, take part in the IRIS management committee, and have 30 months to fully carry out their interdisciplinary research projects.

IRIS’s research programme hinges on two themes: interdisciplinarity and the six societal challenges of the Brussels-Capital Region (BCR). IRIS fellows' research projects will exemplify solutions in the applied context of the BCR but are intrinsically linked to ubiquitous European needs, thereby preparing the participating researchers European-wide career options.
