The YUFE universities are pleased to announce two calls for postdoctoral research positions in all disciplines, with a project addressing one or more urban opportunities and challenges. Postdocs will carry out their projects anchored in a YUFE host university of their choice. They will define and develop their projects within YUFE focus areas: Sustainability, Digital Society, Citizens Wellbeing, and European Identity.
In total, 51 positions are offered for researchers appointed across nine universities. Selected YUFE postdocs can conduct a research training project in a broad range of disciplines. The target audience of both calls are promising researchers that have obtained their Ph.D. a maximum of 6 years before the call deadline.
The programme offers a number of benefits for postdoctoral researchers. These include:
- Attractive employment conditions, including 36-month appointments;
- A three-pillar training programme on community engagement, stakeholder interaction, Open Science and Open Innovation;
- Personalised supervision and career guidance;
- Support from stakeholder organizations involved as Associated Partners. Six business organizations and ten city and regional councils will contribute to the training program;
- Implementation by an EU-wide, experienced consortium.
