EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdocs (EIPOD)Application
Project ideas
Candidates for the EIPOD application are encouraged to design their own research project, and pre-discuss their application with EMBL scientists (at least one Coordinator and one Partner) before submission. Click here for an overview of EMBL research units and to search by research topics.
In addition or instead of providing a self-defined project, candidates may also select up to two of the below listed EIPOD project ideas, which should then be developed into a full research project proposal. Project co-ordinators should be contacted to discuss projects (click on the co-ordinator name in the table below for email contact).
