Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) is pleased to announce that up to15 AIAS-COFUND fellowships are available for the most talented researchers from around the world. The scheme is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (grant agreement no 754513) and Aarhus University Research Foundation.

The AIAS-COFUND II Programme is for both junior and senior researchers who are seeking to enhance their genuine understanding of the methodologies and approaches of other scientific disciplines at the highest level, thus making cross- disciplinary inspiration and initiatives possible.

The Programme also provides career development opportunities, especially for young talented re- searchers, by offering both academic mentorship and career development in transferable skills and also the opportunity to organize large-scale multidisciplinary and international conferences.

The duration of a fellow- ship varies from 6 up to 36 months, with commencement dates either on 1 October 2019 or 1 February 2020.

• AIAS-COFUND Senior Fellowships for researchers with a career experience of 10+ years. Fellowship duration: 6-18 months.
