Description du projet
Promouvoir les recherches internationales interdisciplinaires à l’université du Luxembourg
Le dispositif postdoctoral Young International Academics (YIA) est un programme d’évolution de carrière financé par le programme AMSC et hébergé par l’université du Luxembourg (UL) en vue d’encourager les candidats postdoctoraux en début de carrière à faire progresser leurs recherches interdisciplinaires ou intersectorielles. Talentueux, les candidats internationaux YIA mettent en œuvre leurs propres projets de recherche à travers une approche ascendante. Réparti sur deux appels, le YIA invite un total de 10 boursiers postdoctoraux, offrant des contrats de 36 mois, répartis chacun sur un programme d’une durée de 5 ans. L’une des caractéristiques uniques du YIA réside dans le fait qu’il soit intégré à l’Institut des études avancées (IAS) de l’UL, qui prône l’excellence et l’interdisciplinarité dans le domaine de la recherche. L’IAS offre aux boursiers YIA un environnement idéal pour leurs recherches interdisciplinaires, un mentorat assuré par des titulaires d’une bourse de l’IAS, ainsi qu’une approche internationale favorisant la diversité et l’excellence.
Objectif
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.
