About this position
Rubicon is a recurring postdoctoral fellowship scheme from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) that supports talented researchers from Dutch universities and research institutes run by KNAW and NWO in building an international postdoctoral career.
The fellowship is designed to help researchers take a next step beyond the PhD and gain experience abroad through a postdoctoral project hosted outside the Netherlands. The scheme is framed around research mobility and career development, with support intended for a period of postdoctoral research in the host country.
The award and related research support depend on the host country, and the scheme includes a limited amount of research costs plus return travel support from the Netherlands to the host country. It is a flexible, internationally oriented opportunity rather than a fixed project advertisement, and it is open across disciplines.
