The Irish Research Council is delighted to announce its new IRC Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme entitled CAROLINE – ‘Collaborative Research Fellowships for a Responsive and Innovative Europe’.
The Council will be hosting a webinar on Friday 13 May 2016 at 10am. Prospective applicants, Research Officers, as well as representatives of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations (IOs) are invited to attend the webinar. To register, please visit here.
The initiative will provide experienced researchers with an opportunity to obtain a prestigious research mobility and career development Fellowship. Successful candidates will carry out research either in Ireland or abroad and will gain inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary exposure through this programme.
CAROLINE will attract experienced researchers from any discipline to conduct research relevant to the themes of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for shared economic prosperity, social development, and environmental protection.
A key feature of the programme is collaboration between the academic sector and non-governmental organisations and international organisations.
There will be two types of Fellowships:
- International Fellowships (Three Years duration), 30 in all
- Irish Fellowships (Two Years duration), 20 in all
There will be two calls under the CAROLINE programme. The first call will open in September 2016 and the second call will open in May 2017. There will be 25 fellowships awarded in each call.
