Project description
Advanced training in biomedicine in Barcelona
The Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) in Barcelona is an independent, non-profit research centre dedicated to fundamental and applied biomedical science. With support from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the IRB-DRIVE project aims to attract top talent to IRB Barcelona and prepare them for high-impact careers in biomedicine through a comprehensive doctoral programme. It will offer ten four-year fellowships in two rounds, selected through a fair recruitment process aligned with HR Excellence in Research standards. Fellows will carry out research in one of IRB’s 29 groups across six interdisciplinary nodes, gaining access to international collaboration and mobility opportunities. The programme will also strengthen technical and transferable skills, offering a career-focused path, and empowering future leaders in biomedicine.
Objective
IRB-DRIVE has been conceived to attract high-capacity talent to IRB Barcelona (IRB) and train, upskill and equip them towards impactful professional careers in biomedicine through a comprehensive doctoral programme. IRB is an independent, non-profit research center engaged in fundamental and applied biomedical science whose widespread recognition for research excellence is complemented and supported by a renowned international PhD programme which has accumulated numerous qualitative improvements over the recent years, thanks in part to the implementation of 2 MSCA-COFUND programmes - IRB-DREAM and IRB-TARGET. IRB-DRIVE will offer 10 four-year fellowships through 2 calls to exceptional doctoral candidates informed via an extensive dissemination campaign and awarded after a fair and transparent selection and recruitment process that builds on institutional best practices endorsed by the HR Excellence in Research Award (held by the institute since 2014). IRB-DRIVE fellows will conduct their research projects in one of IRB’s 29 research groups among the institute´s 6 interdisciplinary research nodes and will have access to a broad range of international and intersectoral collaboration and mobility opportunities strengthened by the programme’s network of associated partners. Apart from promoting their technical and transferable skills, IRB-DRIVE will facilitate their readiness to rewarding roles in research through a novel career-driven itinerary. Finally, by implementing a holistic support programme that includes a novel mentoring agenda and nurtures their well-being through meaningful interventions, IRB hopes to drive these future leaders of biomedicine to research and professional success.
