Results in brief

Fellowship Programme supporting Career Development and Interdisciplinary Training in Omics driven Personalised Medicine

An important part of the H2020 vision is the provision of multidisciplinary education and training at all levels across relevant sectors and disciplines in order to overcome the existing bottlenecks in knowledge, skills, technological expertise and cross-disciplinary flow of information necessary to deliver on personalised medicine. For successful integration of omics-based personalised medicine into clinical applications it is necessary for cross-disciplinary scientists to learn one another’s languages, to work together effectively and to engage with the clinical community on research projects that translate omics technologies and associated computational analysis into the clinic including the design and execution of clinical trials in personalised medicine. The objective of TOPMed10 is to offer prestigious fellowships to the coming generation of researchers and clinicians, to prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of personalised medicine and to equip them with new skills, interdisciplinary and intersectoral experience, and a wider range of competencies to enhance their career. development prospects. This is in line with the main objective for the Individual Fellowships Action from the MSCA Work Programme 2014 – 2015, which is to “enhance the creative and innovative potential of Experienced Researchers who wish to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility.

Project objective

UCD proposes the implementation of a new postdoctoral fellowship programme supporting career development and interdisciplinary training in omics driven Personalised Medicine for 10 high calibre experienced researchers undertaking transnational ‘incoming’ mobility to Ireland (TOPMed10). Experienced researchers, by definition under Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), are those in possession of a doctoral degree (or at least 4 years of research experience (FTE)) at the time of the deadline for the submission of their fellowship proposal. TOPMed10 offers 10 prestigious fellowships, 2-3 years in duration, across two calls. Fellowships will be offered at 2 levels: level 1 will be targeted at incoming experienced researchers (as per MSCA definition) with 0-3 years additional research experience and level 2 will be targeted at incoming experienced researchers (as per MSCA definition) with 3+ years additional research experience. Career breaks will be taken into account. Fellowships of level 1 and 2 are open to candidates of any nationality who, at the time of the deadline for submission of proposals, shall not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Ireland for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the deadline for submission date. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account. Fellowships will be based in the UCD Research Institutes (Systems Biology Ireland, UCD Charles Institute of Dermatology, UCD Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Research and the UCD Clinical Research Centre). Fellows may undertake an optional 3-9 month secondment to a Partner Organisation (incl. academic, industry, clinical sector) or a research performing organisation in any country in the world deemed to be appropriate in terms of meeting the needs of the fellows’ research, training and career development requirements.
