>> FEBS Fellowships

Deadlines: twice: 31 March and 30 September

Long-Term Fellowships are awarded to support long-term visits for the purpose of scientific collaboration or advanced training. These Fellowships are originally granted for one year and may be renewed for a further year up to a maximum of 3 years.

The application from a candidate already at the host institute is not receivable!

Applicants must have a PhD and should normally be scientists with no more than six years post-doctoral experience.

FEBS Fellowships and Scholarships are intended to allow members of a FEBS Constituent Society to work in a laboratory in a different FEBS country from that in which they are working. Applications from developing countries in the FEBS area of interest may be considered, but full funding of the travel costs may not be given.

Applicants (except those applying for a Summer Fellowship) should be a member of a FEBS Constituent Society. Applications from senior scientists will not be considered.

FEBS Fellowships and Scholarships may not be used to complement, or as an extension to, another fellowship or scholarship; applicants should state whether applications have been submitted to other grant-awarding bodies for the same project and whether any other grants have been received towards the same projected visit.

No grant will be given by FEBS to the institute receiving the Fellow or Scholarship Holder to cover research costs or bench fees.

Long-Term Fellowships are awarded twice a year. Applications should reach the Chairman of the FEBS Fellowships Committee before 1 April or 1 October of the corresponding year.

The fellowship should be taken up within 6 months of its award.

Deadlines: throughout the year but no longer than 12 months after completion of the long-term fellowship

The aim of the FEBS Distinguished Young Investigator Award is to give recognition to those FEBS Long-Term Fellows who have conducted excellent research during the tenure of their Fellowship.

The Award takes the form of a certificate and a single sum of money which may be used at the discretion of the awardee to buy small pieces of equipment, specific consumable items or to defray conference, publication or similar expenses, but not as a salary.
