Descripción del proyecto
Nuevos líderes para la biomedicina científica
El papel que desempeña la investigación biomédica en la prevención y el tratamiento de enfermedades y en el descubrimiento de nuevos medicamentos y terapias es fundamental para la salud humana y animal. Así, existe una demanda creciente de investigadores creativos, interdisciplinarios e innovadores. El proyecto LEAD, financiado con fondos europeos, es un programa de posdoctorado que aborda las necesidades individuales de dieciséis investigadores. El Centro de Investigación e Innovación Biotecnológica (BRIC, por sus siglas en inglés) de la Universidad de Copenhague se encargará de ponerlo en marcha con el objetivo de lograr una nueva generación de científicos líderes en innovación e inclusión, para lo cual ofrecerá condiciones laborales atractivas. El proyecto tiene como objetivo garantizar una selección transparente y un marco de apoyo para la investigación biomédica transformadora e interdisciplinaria y apoyar el desarrollo de perfiles individuales de líderes científicos.
Objetivo
The competences for performing top-level research and research leadership is growing in complexity. There is a demand for creative, interdisciplinary and innovative researchers, led by open, inclusive and collaborative research leaders. This requires a new and dedicated approach for strategic career development, especially in the transition from research talent to research leader. The postdoc to research LEADer programme will address the individual needs of 16 talented researchers, holding a PhD degree followed by 2-5 years of research experience. Our VISION is to empower the fellows to become the next generation of creative, critical, open, collaborative, responsible and inclusive research leaders, in or outside academia. The Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen is a centre of excellence in biomedical research, aiming to offer outstanding research training. BRIC will together with several partner organisations TRAIN, NURTURE and CHALLENGE the fellows to develop an individual researcher and research leader profile. LEAD will offer the fellows attractive employment conditions and 3-year contracts with BRIC. The recruitment will be based on transparent, merit-based selection, involving external experts from academia and industry, ensuring selection of diverse talent. Our AIMS are to 1) Ensure transparent merit-based selection, 2) ensure a supportive framework for conducting transformative, interdisciplinary biomedical research, 3) support development of excellent research leadership competences and transferable skills and 4) support the researchers strategic career development according to individual goals. LEAD will equip the fellows with excellent research abilities, strong leadership competences and a broad transferable skills-set, which will broadly increase their employability. Our ambition is that the fellows after completion are enabled and inspired to apply for their first research leader position in or outside academia.
