The RESPIRE4 Postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme coordinated by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) receives funding from the European Union’s (EU) Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grant agreement No 847462 (MSCA COFUND scheme).
RESPIRE4 is an international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary programme providing Marie Skłodowska-Curie post-doctoral research fellowships to early stage scientists with the potential to become the leaders of tomorrow in the respiratory field.
Candidates can apply for 2-year European or 3-year Global fellowships. The programme provides attractive working conditions (living allowance adapted to each country’s coefficient, mobility allowance and – if applicable – family allowance) as well as has a strong focus on career development. Applications are welcome across the spectrum of respiratory research from basic science, translational and clinical research to health system and implementation research.
Applications under the 3rd call are open until 1 May 2022 (23:59 Central European Summer Time – CEST). Kindly note that the RESPIRE4 programme falls under the EU Horizon 2020 (H2020) programme (not the current Horizon Europe) therefore the specific requirements and definitions of Horizon 2020 apply. Please refer to the ERS website and the Application Guidance for further information.
Eligibility
- Discipline: Applicants from any discipline (e.g. life sciences, engineering, mathematics, information technology, biochemistry, pharmacology, social sciences, health psychology, public health, implementation research) are encouraged to apply, with a research project related to respiratory science/medicine.
- Experienced researcher: At the time of the reference date (1 May 2022 for the 3rd call), applicants must be in possession of a doctoral degree (PhD) or have at least four years of equivalent full-time research experience.
