FLARE POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN AGEING RESEARCH OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS
FROM 15TH July 2010
The Future Leaders in Ageing Research in Europe (FLARE) programme is now
open for applications from early-career post-doctoral researchers.
Twelve three-year FLARE 2 Fellowships in multi-disciplinary ageing
research in Europe are available, based in: Austria, Finland, France,
Israel, Luxembourg, Quebec, Romania, and Sweden.
Funded by seven European countries, Fellowships are open to applications
from candidates who embrace the two innovative features of the
programme: part of the fellowship must be spent in another country and
it must also involve a cross-disciplinary collaboration.
FLARE is the first European programme on ageing research funded by the
Member States themselves and this unique programme launched in 2007 when
18 successful applicants were awarded the first FLARE Fellowships. FLARE
2 will build on this success.
To mark the launch of FLARE 2, a showcase of the FLARE 1 programme will
take place in London on 4 August 2010. Fully funded places are open to
early-career researchers, scientists, and funding agencies and the day
long event will include presentations by current FLARE Fellows as well
as additional information about the FLARE 2 programme.
FLARE was born from a strong scientific consensus on the need to develop
a multi-disciplinary approach to ageing research and also the need to
forge strong European networks in this area, particularly with regard to
supporting our early career researchers. The new FLARE Fellows will
also have the opportunity to participate in a number of Summer Schools
to network with each other and FLARE 1 Fellows and develop their
research careers.
For full information on the application process and guidelines, or to
register for the FLARE Showcase visit www.era-age.group.shef.ac.uk.
Applications for fellowships can be submitted until 15 October 2010.
