Final Report Summary - IRBPOSTPRO (IRB Barcelona International Postdoctoral Programme)
The project (IRBPOSTPRO) (IRB Barcelona international postdoctoral fellowships programme) has been launched to attract highly talented scientists seeking advanced research training and career development opportunities in a competitive international environment. Postdoctoral fellows can conduct research projects of their choice in any IRB Barcelona research programmes.
This programme has been intended to foster collaborative research projects between groups at IRB. The goal was to provide an optimal scientific environment for researchers at this critical time in their career and to prepare them to take up positions as independent scientists in laboratories across the world. This line of work has been followed taking this outcome as a starting point: IRB Barcelona has got the contribution from the COFUND action for the project proposal presented in 2009 to create a new fellowship programme for postdoctoral fellows and has launched the first call on December 2010.
The programme has aimed to highlight the attractiveness of our Institute to high-talented scientists, increasing European-wide mobility possibilities for training and career development of experienced researchers. Fellows are selected through an international committee of experts, ensuring transparency and equal treatment of all applications. Postdoctoral fellows under the COFUND contribution carried out their research projects in any of IRB Barcelona’s research programmes, and they work on a research project of their choice. This programme has made significant contributions to the development of highly talented scientists' career and to the biomedical sciences in general.
Two calls have been published and promoted through the project website, online recruitment services, scientific journals, posters and email. The first (2010-2011) received 79 applications, from which 8 two-year fellowships were awarded. The second (2011-2012) attracted 101 applications, with 10 two-year fellowships being awarded. All 18 fellows have been incorporated into IRB Barcelona laboratories.
A new webpage https://www.irbbarcelona.org/en/young-researchers/postdoctoral-programme launched specifically for the IRB Barcelona postdoctoral community, provides information about the programme's activities and performance.
IRBPOSTPRO is helping IRB Barcelona to make significant contributions to the career development of highly talented scientists and, in turn, to the field of biomedical sciences in general. This programme has offered young life scientists a unique and multidisciplinary scientific environment for training and research. The postdoctoral community is currently the component of the IRB Barcelona with the highest international presence (51% of the postdoctoral community) thanks the International Postdoctoral Programme launched within the COFUND action.
