Informazioni sul datore di lavoro

Yufe4Postdocs (Y4P) is an ambitious training programme co-funded by Horizon Europe’s Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme. It is part of the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) Alliance, which brings together nine young research-intensive universities from across Europe. They are collaborating to contribute to a more competitive, innovative and united Europe.

YUFE4Postdocs aims to train future proof researchers, building bridges between academia and society. It features a novel evaluation procedure based primarily on qualitative judgement and offers an attractive training including interactive stakeholder engagement seminars and a variety of joint transferable skills training sessions.

The YUFE universities are pleased to announce two calls for postdoctoral research positions in all disciplines, with a project addressing one or more urban opportunities and challenges. Postdocs will carry out their projects anchored in a YUFE host university of their choice. They will define and develop their projects within YUFE focus area’s: Sustainability; Digital Society, Citizens Wellbeing; and European Identity.

In total, 51 positions are offered for researchers appointed across nine universities. Selected YUFE postdocs can conduct a research training project in a broad range of disciplines. Target audience of both calls are promising researchers that have obtained their PhD a maximum of 6 years before the call deadline.

The programme offers a number of benefits for postdoctoral researchers. These include:

Attractive employment conditions, including 36-month appointments
A three-pillar training programme on community engagement, stakeholder interaction, Open Science and Open Innovation
Personalised supervision and career guidance
Support from stakeholder organizations involved as Associated Partners. Six business organizations and ten city and regional councils will contribute to the training program.
Implementation by an EU-wide, experienced consortium
