Descrizione del progetto
Preparare i ricercatori interdisciplinari di domani in Europa
L’Università tedesca di Kiel è un’istituzione di medie dimensioni orientata alla ricerca con una vasta gamma di settori accademici. Questo ateneo ha recentemente ampliato il suo programma d’istruzione allo scopo di includere quattro aree di ricerca interdisciplinare prioritarie: nanoscienze e scienze delle superfici e delle interfacce; scienze della vita; scienze marine e il settore del cambiamento sociale, ambientale e culturale. Con il sostegno del programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, il progetto KiTE assegnerà a 16 ricercatori postdottorato borse di studio della durata di tre anni in questi campi di ricerca prioritari. I candidati di successo riceveranno una preziosa formazione presso l’università e nell’ambito di distaccamenti con partner intersettoriali, il che fornirà loro eccellenti prospettive di sviluppo professionale. Il progetto coltiverà una nuova generazione di ricercatori europei preparati a risolvere le impegnative problematiche che affliggono il mondo contemporaneo.
Obiettivo
Kiel University is a mid-sized and research-intensive university offering the full spectrum of academic disciplines, which at the same time has pursued a path of internal differentiation. The concentration and interconnection of disciplinary knowledge spaces has given rise to four interdisciplinary Priority Research Areas (PRAs): Nano, Surface and Interface Science; Life Science; Marine Science; and Societal, Environmental and Cultural Change. Their trans-faculty research cultures integrate knowledge from different fields and actors to study complex challenges and contribute to their solution. Kiel University is convinced that knowledge at interfaces will shape future generations of researchers. The KiTE fellowship programme offers an excellent training programme with the highest standards of research integrity in the truly interdisciplinary environments of the PRAs to 16 experienced, internationally mobile researchers post their doctorate. Fellows will be recruited in open topic calls applying merit-based criteria, gender-fair and transparent selection procedures. Chosen according to the interdisciplinary potential of their project and their individual excellence, they will find competitive working conditions and excellent infrastructure in Kiel. The fellows will be awarded a three-year full-time employment contract with a training programme that will broaden their skills through hands-on research experience and integration within the university’s international and intersectoral networks. They will each complete two secondments of three months at partner institutions from the PRAs' networks to gather new work experience inside and outside academia. Accompanied by an advanced training programme to broaden their transferable skills, they will be given outstanding opportunities to develop their careers further. KiTE will set new standards for and thus transform postdoc training at Kiel University, and as a best-practice example enrich the European Research Area.
