Накратко на български

Млади изследователи разработват индивидуални проекти в науките за живота, като например съчетават работата на две различни лаборатории. Така се подобрява връзката между университетската наука, индустрията и медицината, а учените придобиват умения за работа в различни сектори.

EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdoc Programme 4

EIPOD4 is an international postdoctoral fellowship programme embedded in EMBL’s interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment. It addresses the need to support diverse and flexible career paths in the European life sciences by providing structured, interdisciplinary training and career development opportunities for postdoctoral researchers. The programme aims to train researchers capable of working across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries while strengthening links between academia, industry, and clinical research. Fellows are recruited through a transparent, merit-based, globally competitive process. Across three calls, 61 postdoctoral researchers of 26 nationalities were recruited, demonstrating strong international reach and diversity. Fellows are appointed on three-year contracts and develop self-designed interdisciplinary projects involving at least two EMBL groups, often across different sites. Many projects include external partners from academia, industry, clinical institutions, or museums, promoting cross-sector collaboration and knowledge exchange. The programme offers three career tracks—Academic, Industry, and Clinical—supporting diverse career trajectories. A key objective is to combine research with structured career development and transferable skills training. Fellows receive training in open and responsible science, data management and FAIR principles, intellectual property, entrepreneurship, gender and diversity, and career development. Public engagement training is delivered with the Natural History Museum in London. Additional support includes individual career development plans, mentoring schemes, access to EMBL’s Fellows Career Service, a career secondment scheme, and the EIPODs Inspire mentoring initiative, which develops leadership skills through supervision of Master’s students. The programme has been fully implemented, including recruitment, training, and reporting activities. It has delivered a highly trained, interdisciplinary and internationally diverse cohort of researchers. EIPOD4 fellows have produced 56 publications (including 30 first-author papers) and as well as other research outputs. Nearly half have already transitioned to subsequent positions, mainly in Europe, across academia, industry R&D, and related sectors. EIPOD4 has successfully achieved its objectives by delivering interdisciplinary research training, strengthening cross-sector collaboration, and enhancing career flexibility. It has contributed to increased researcher mobility and broadened career opportunities within and beyond academia.

Цел на проекта

EIPOD4 is an international postdoctoral fellowship programme embedded in the world-class research environment of EMBL. It fosters interdisciplinary and intersectorial research opportunities between academia, industry, clinics and museums via three available tracks (Academic, Industry, Clinical). The programme will host 60 experienced researchers recruited in 3 globally advertised calls following a transparent and merit-based evaluation and selection process with international peer-review. Fellows receive 3-year employment contracts to complete their self-designed interdisciplinary research projects. They develop interdisciplinary research skills and complete a mandatory training portfolio targeting transferable skills.A dedicated career development service and career secondment opportunities allow EIPOD4 fellows to further develop core competencies and enhance their networking skills. They are part of EMBL’s established Second Mentor programme and develop their own mentoring skills via the new EIPODs Inspire scheme where they support junior colleagues from less-represented countries.The programme aims to educate future scientific leaders with a strong sense of their responsibility to society. An important aspect of this is to engage in dialogue with the general public. The project partner, the Natural History Museum in London, will provide fellows with science communication training. Fellows will also have the unique opportunity to participate in one of the museum’s high profile public engagement events.EIPOD4 supports the increasing diversity of career paths in Europe’s research landscape. The programme will increase the visibility of the European Research Area as an attractive destination for experienced researchers to receive valuable and innovative training. As many of the globally recruited fellows stay in Europe following their postdoctoral fellowship they will contribute their skills to positioning Europe as a research and innovation leader.
