Warsaw Quantum-Nano-Bio-Technology Pole Fellowship Program

Objective

The proposal aims to set up a pole of excellence in the three topics of Quantum Technology, Nanotechnology, and Biotechnology at the three closely collaborating Polish Academy of Sciences institutions of the Institute of Physics, the Center For Theoretical Physics, and the Institute of High Pressure Physics in Warsaw, Poland. The pole of excellence will be based on fully impartial recruitment of 16 top quality postdoctoral fellows for 3 year durations, using an innovative and flexible recruitment formula. They will be provided with excellent mentors on-site, top tier mentor-collaborators in overseas institutions and industrial partners to be visited during secondments, as well as top quality innovative career training during their fellowships. A mechanism for retention of well performing and willing participants into tenure-track positions in the host institutions after the fellowship will be provided. The recruitment will be made and other key decisions overseen by an International Steering Committee. The project will be co-financed by funding from the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
