Call for Application: WHO IARC Postdoctoral Fellowships 2021/2023 for Early Career Scientists

Fellowships should be taken up before the end of 2021 (flexibility will be granted according to the global health situation).
The current IARC postdoctoral stipend is € 2,820 per month.
The cost of travel for the successful candidate, and in certain circumstances for dependants, will be met, a dependant’s allowance and a training allowance paid, and health insurance covered, within IARC’s maximum liability.
Depending on certain conditions, Fellows from LMIC countries will be able to apply for an IARC return grant of max. € 10,000 during the second year of their Fellowship in order to start up an independent research programme linked to IARC’s activities upon return to their LMI country of origin.

Only candidates from LMIC are eligible (according to the World Bank Classification list).
All candidates are required to have finished their doctoral degree within five years of the closing date for application, or must be in the final year of their doctoral degree (their degree must have been awarded by the time of starting their Fellowship).
Candidates with a MD are also eligible to apply on condition that their research experience can be considered equivalent to that of a candidate with a doctoral degree.
The working languages at IARC are English and French.
Candidates must be proficient in English at a level sufficient for scientific communication.
Candidates currently at IARC as fully-funded postdoctoral scientists, or candidates who have been at the Agency as a postdoctoral scientist or a doctoral student for a period greater than six months, cannot be considered.

Eligible Regions: Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)
