PASIFIC
PASIFIC is a postdoctoral fellowship Programme that provides a unique opportunity for researchers who want to undertake state-of-the-art research in a dynamic scientific environment. It enables scientists of all nationalities and disciplines to establish their scientific independence and carry out groundbreaking research. The Programme is co-funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Maria Sklodowska-Curie COFUND scheme.
Fellows
The Programme recruited 48 outstanding researchers from a pool of 550 candidates in two Calls published in 2021. Fellows were selected through a merit-based evaluation process carried out by international experts.
The selected candidates came to Poland for 24 months to conduct their research at the Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences, one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in the country. They received up to €93,000 per project for their research. Fellows work with experienced supervisors and participate in a wide range of training activities. They also have the opportunity to apply their research results during six-month secondments outside academia.
The Fellows come from 19 different countries around the world, including the United States, Australia, Italy, Ukraine, India, and others. They conduct their research in three domains – Physical Sciences and Engineering (22 Fellows), Life Sciences (11 Fellows), and Social Sciences and Humanities (15 Fellows). The projects cover a wide range of disciplines, including, for example, space science, materials engineering, computer science and informatics, cultures and cultural production, environmental biology, or ecology and evolution.
Polish Academy of Sciences
Founded in 1952, the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS) is one of Poland’s most prominent research institutions and the country’s largest scientific network. Fellows have the opportunity to carry out their projects at one of 67 PAS Institutes and the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, most of which have received the HR Excellence in Research Award. Host Institutes provide career development activities, networking and training opportunities, and access to excellent research infrastructure.
