Two competitive YUFE4Postdocscalls resulted in the appointment in the YUFE universities of 55 excellent international incoming postdoctoral researchers. The first cohort started in the spring and the second cohort will be fully up and running by mid-November 2024.
These will be trained to become future- proof researchers, building bridges between academia and society. The program is coordinated by the University of Antwerp and provides an attractive training package featuring interactive in-person stakeholder engagement seminars and a variety of online joint transferrable skills training sessions.
YUFE4 postdocs are appointed for a three-year period and carry out their research training projects under the guidance of their chosen supervisor. Additionally, all postdocs have selected a co-supervisor at another YUFE university and they will collaborate together throughout the project, supported by an Intra-YUFE mobility. They will get Personalised supervision and career guidance by two supervisors (at the host and co-host university with Career Development Plan as an individual roadmap.
With stakeholder interaction and Open Science at the heart of the YUFE4Postdocs program, all postdocs will carry out their project in regular contact with one or more stakeholder organisations.
