Why to apply for an ERCIM Fellowship?

The Fellowship Programme enables bright young scientists from all over the world to work on a challenging problem as fellows of leading European research centers. In addition, an ERCIM fellowship helps widen and intensify the network of personal relations and understanding among scientists. The programme offers the opportunity to ERCIM fellows:

•to work with internationally recognized experts
•to improve their knowledge about European research structures and networks
•to become familiarized with working conditions in leading European research centres
•to promote cross-fertilization and cooperation, through the fellowships, between research groups working in similar areas in different laboratories.

How are the fellows selected?

Each application is reviewed by one or more senior scientists in each ERCIM institute. ERCIM representatives decide on the candidates to whom Fellowships are offered, taking into account the following criteria:

•Scientific expertise of the applicant
•Quality of scientific publications
•Relevance of the fellowship research agenda
•Interest/ added-value for the consortium
•Previous mobility / professional experiences
The number of available positions varies from call to call and depends mainly from the needs of the member institutes and their available funding.

Equal Opportunities

ERCIM is committed to ensuring equal opportunities and promoting diversity. People seeking employment within the ERCIM consortium are not discriminated against because race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status or disability.
