Description du projet
Créer des chefs de file dans la recherche biomédicale
Le rôle de la recherche biomédicale dans la prévention et le traitement de maladies, ainsi que dans la découverte de nouveaux médicaments, est déterminant pour la santé humaine et animale. Dès lors, il existe une demande croissante en chercheurs innovants, interdisciplinaires et créatifs. Le projet LEAD, financé par l’UE, est un programme postdoctoral qui répond aux besoins individuels de 16 chercheurs. Il sera déployé par le Centre de recherche et d’innovation en biotechnologie (BRIC) de l’Université de Copenhague afin de transformer les chercheurs en chefs de file de la recherche, à savoir des chercheurs inclusifs et innovants de prochaine génération, en leur offrant des conditions d’emploi très intéressantes. Le projet entend garantir une sélection transparente et un cadre favorable pour la recherche biomédicale interdisciplinaire et transformatrice, ainsi que soutenir le développement de profils de dirigeant pour chaque chercheur.
Objectif
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.
