Job Details

ERCIM, the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, manages a postdoctoral programme, the ERCIM Alain Bensoussan Fellowship Programme, to foster collaborative work within the European research community.

The ERCIM Alain Bensoussan Fellowships are awarded for a period of one year in an ERCIM member institute. During the fellowship stay, the postdoctoral fellows also receive support for research exchange(s) at ERCIM institutes and participation in conferences throughout Europe and the world.

Since its inception in 1991, over 480 fellows have benefited from the programme. The ERCIM Alain Bensoussan Fellowship Programme has enabled bright young postdoctoral scientists from all over the world to work on challenging problems within ERCIM member institutes.

Before applying, please read carefully the "Application guide".

Have obtained a PhD degree during the last 8 years (prior to the application year deadline) or be in the last year of the thesis work with an outstanding academic record. Nevertheless, before starting the grant, a proof of the PhD degree will be requested.

complete, submit the application form and send via the online system:
  • a detailed curriculum vitae
  • a list of publications
  • two scientific papers in English
  • contact details of two referees

Please note that the fellowship is restricted to two terms (one reselection possible).

We encourage not only researchers from academic institutions to apply, but also scientists working in industry.

In order to encourage mobility:
  • a member institute will not be eligible to host a candidate of the same nationality.
  • a candidate cannot be hosted by a member institute, if by the start of the fellowship, he or she has already been working for this institute (including phd or postdoc studies) for a total of 6 months or more, during the last 3 years.

The applications are evaluated by scientists from ERCIM Institutes. After the confirmation by the evaluator that the applicant's research area of interest matches with his/her scientific fields of expertise and is a strategic research area of the member institute, the evaluator will proceed to an on-line evaluation. The ERCIM Fellowship is targeted at the most promising young researchers from all around the world. The primary selection criterion applied by all ERCIM evaluators is therefore scientific excellence. The evaluator will consider in particular the scientific expertise of the applicants and the quality of the scientific publications. He/she will also evaluate if the relevance of the research project fits with the research agenda of the host organisation. In addition, the previous mobility and/or professional experience(s) will be taken into account.
