Descripción del proyecto
Fomento de la investigación interdisciplinaria internacional en la Universidad de Luxemburgo
El programa posdoctoral Young International Academics (YIA) es un programa de promoción profesional financiado por las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie y organizado por la Universidad de Luxemburgo (UL) para ayudar a los solicitantes posdoctorales noveles a avanzar en su investigación interdisciplinaria e intersectorial. Los candidatos del YIA son profesionales internacionales que ejecutan sus propios proyectos de investigación a través de un planteamiento ascendente. El programa YIA, que consta de dos convocatorias, contratará a un total de diez becarios posdoctorales durante treinta y seis meses a lo largo de sus cinco años de duración. Una característica única del YIA es su integración en el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados (IAS, por sus siglas en inglés) de la UL, que promueve la excelencia y la interdisciplinariedad en la investigación. Para los becarios del YIA, el IAS proporciona un entorno excelente para la investigación interdisciplinaria y la tutoría por parte de becarios del IAS, así como un enfoque internacional que promueve la diversidad y la excelencia.
Objetivo
The Young International Academics postdoctoral programme (YIA) is a career development program proposed by the University of Luxembourg (Uni.lu) to nurture early-career postdoctoral applicants to gain momentum in interdisciplinary/intersectoral research. YIA applicants are international talents willing to propose and realize their own interdisciplinary research projects through a bottoms-up approach. YIA will welcome, in two calls, a total of 10 postdoctoral fellows with 36-month contracts over 5 years. YIA is open to all disciplines and sectors, involving Uni.lu in the drive towards an increased interdisciplinarity and intersectorality, which are strategic for Uni.lu for the country and for Europe. A unique aspect of YIA is its integration into Uni.lu’s Institute for Advanced Studies-Luxembourg (IAS) created in 2019 to promote interdisciplinarity and outreach towards the society. This integration provides the YIA fellows with (1) a supervision for interdisciplinary and intersectoral research with more than 350 potential (co)-supervisors, and with about 350 potential public-private partners, (2) peer and cross-generational interactions/mentoring through the IAS fellows, invited distinguished senior scientists, early career researchers, and a mandatory academic or industrial secondment, and (3) a truly international flavour in an environment that cherishes diversity and excellence. YIA fellows recruited at Uni.lu are offered competitive contracts with mobility fellowships and access to excellent research infrastructures. A professor of Uni.lu provides supervision for the primary discipline of the applicant’s project and a co-supervisor covers the complementary discipline/sector. The YIA fellows are offered an “à la carte” training including mandatory courses, to suits the fellow’s career aspirations, increase the fellow’s interdisciplinarity and employability. The YIA programme will support a rapid ramp into a long-term Uni.lu funding of postdoctoral IAS fellows.
