Summary: Career development for junior scientists at the
Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, Norwegian University of Science and
Technology, Trondheim.
The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology (NT)
at NTNU has set up the FINS initiative to support excellent junior scientists
from outside Norway, who plan
to submit applications for independent research fellowships (such as Marie
Curie Individual Fellowships, etc.) in order to pursue an academic research
career. The initiative aims to highlight research opportunities for
1/ candidates with 2/ members of the NT faculty and to assist the best candidates
with the development of their fellowship applications. Last year eight Marie
Curie fellowship applications were submitted by candidates supported through
the FINS initiative with three of them (38%) being successful. The average
success rate for this type of EU funding was 12% in 2013. The initiative has also
the financial means to support
one outstanding candidate if he/she fails to meet the funding threshold.
Applications should be from
promising young researchers who have already published (at least) one
manuscript as 1st author in a peer-reviewed journal and have scientific
interests that match research activities already taking place in the
departments involved (investigators participating and details on the application procedure can be found on the
website and include Biology or Materials Science and
Engineering).
The selected candidates will be invited to Trondheim for a symposium at the end of May
(reasonable travel expenses will be covered), where they will present their past research achievements and discuss future
research / career plans with senior NTNU academics.
Deadline for application is Friday, 28th March
2014
