FEBS currently offers Short-Term Fellowships, Collaborative Developmental Scholarships, Summer Fellowships and Ukrainian Short-Term Fellowships. With the launch of the new FEBS Excellence Award scheme in 2021 (see below), the previous FEBS Long-Term Fellowships scheme is now closed.
Short-Term Fellowships are for scientists who have obtained their PhD degree within the past six years, and PhD students who have at least one published paper as a main author in an international scientific journal. Collaborative Developmental Scholarships are for PhD students or early/mid-career PhD holders in certain disadvantaged FEBS countries. Summer Fellowships are for PhD students and Master’s students. Ukrainian Short-Term Fellowships are for active molecular life scientists from Ukraine who have a PhD.
All are for researchers studying or working in a FEBS country and wishing to move to a different country in the FEBS area for the duration of the Fellowship. In addition, candidates for Short-Term Fellowships and Collaborative Developmental Scholarships need to be a member of one of the FEBS Constituent Societies. The research stay is arranged by the applicant in collaboration with the host lab.
