EIPOD fellowships are awarded for a period of 3 years. The positions come with generous health care benefits and pension access.

The EIPOD fellowship programme is open to all nationalities, with the criteria being scientific excellence and interdisciplinarity. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree at the call deadline. Applicants who have successfully defended their Ph.D. but have not yet been awarded the degree are also eligible.  Prior affiliation with EMBL, and if relevant an MS partner, can not exceed 12 months in the last 3 years prior to the submission deadline.
