EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships | Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics at the Gdańsk University of Technology

EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded for a period of two years although shorter durations can be requested. The minimum fellowship duration that can be requested is one year. Fellowships must be started within one calendar year from the relevant evaluation cut-off.

EMBO provides grants to the host institution with the sole intention to cover the cost of an employment contract to be issued by the host institution to the awardee. These costs include employer’s social contributions, awardee’s social contributions, taxes as required by national and local laws and regulations, and the net salary of the awardee.

For children under the age of six, fellows can claim support for incurred childcare costs up to the amount of 2 500 € per fellowship year and per child.

The relocation allowance is intended to cover travel costs up to the amount of 5 000 € for the fellow and his/her family to and from the host institute. The relocation allowance further includes half a month’s grant rate to contribute to relocation costs.
