About this position

EMBL ARISE2 Fellowship 2026 is a fully funded postdoctoral opportunity at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Europe. The programme is designed for experienced researchers who want to work on technologies, services, data systems, and research infrastructure for modern biology, rather than a traditional publication-focused postdoc.

The fellowship runs for 3 years and is funded through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions COFUND framework. Fellows receive a competitive employment contract, social security benefits, access to EMBL research facilities, professional training, career development support, and secondment opportunities with partner organisations.

Research areas and keywords: biology, biomedical engineering, computer science, data systems, FAIR data management, automation, imaging, structural biology, bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, and AI-driven life-science technologies.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD by the deadline, or have defended their thesis and be awaiting the formal degree. Prior expertise in technology or technique development related to EMBL infrastructures or services is required. Previous EMBL affiliation must not exceed 12 months in the three years before the deadline, and any prior EMBL connection must be disclosed.

Application window: deadline is 30 September 2026. Applicants should complete the official ARISE2 form, prepare a project proposal using the official template, include the Horizon Europe ethics self-assessment, contact participating EMBL group leaders to discuss project fit, and submit at least one reference before the deadline.
