Young Academics Doctoral fellows IAS

Project description

Career development programme for doctoral fellows

The University of Luxembourg, through its Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), offers doctoral fellows a career development programme designed to encourage young doctoral candidates (DCs) to gain momentum in interdisciplinary and intersectoral research. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the YADIAS project will fund 15 interdisciplinary, international and intersectoral doctoral fellowships for talented individuals from around the world. These candidates will be hosted by IAS Luxembourg and will have the opportunity to propose and carry out their own interdisciplinary doctoral research projects through a bottom-up approach. Each of the 15 YADIAS DCs will receive a 48-month fellowship. The project will encourage participation from all disciplines and sectors, engaging the entire university in a push towards greater interdisciplinarity.

Objective

The Young Academics Doctoral fellows IAS (YADIAS) programme within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (HORIZON-MSCA-COFUND) is a career development programme offered by the University of Luxembourg (Uni.lu) to encourage young researchers, doctoral candidates, to gain momentum in interdisciplinary and intersectoral research. YADIAS will finance 15 interdisciplinary, international, and intersectoral doctoral fellowships. YADIAS applicants are international talents willing to propose and realize their own interdisciplinary doctoral research project through a bottom-up approach. The 15 YADIAS Doctoral Candidates (DC) will be recruited with individual fellowships of 48 months. YADIAS is explicitly open to all disciplines and sectors, involving the entire University in the drive towards an increased interdisciplinarity, which is considered strategic for Uni.lu for Luxembourg and Europe. Uni.lu’s rationale is based on the consideration that the world’s challenges are so multifaceted and intricate that they can only be solved through interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international approaches.
