Biozentrum PhD Fellowships Program
The Biozentrum encourages talented, ambitious and highly motivated young scientists from all over the world to apply for the prestigious and sought after fellowships offered by the Biozentrum Basel International PhD Program. In contrast to many other PhD student programs that aim at a broad recruitment of many candidates, the “Biozentrum PhD Fellowships” are awarded on a competitive basis to a maximum of 10 successful candidates per open call. Recipients are offered a unique rotation-based selection of a research group of choice and a number of other incentives that foster the scientific excellence and the career prospects of these PhD candidates.

Ireland Postdoctoral fellowship programme 2019
Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme 2019
The Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme is an established
national initiative, funded by the Department of Education and Skills and managed by
the Council.
This programme aims to support suitably qualified candidates in any discipline to
pursue a postdoctoral fellowship at an eligible higher education institution in Ireland.
Fellowships can be held for either one or two years.
The Council is the largest provider of individual postdoctoral fellowships in Ireland and
typically makes an investment in 80 new postdoctoral fellowships every year.
In 2017, the Council invested in a total of 78 postdoctoral fellowships from 23
countries, bringing the total number of Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship
awards in 2017 to 215.
An established, national initiative
The Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme is unique in the Irish
research landscape. Among its features are:
• Individual, prestigious awards for excellent research in the name of the
applicant;
• An objective selection process using international, independent expert peer
review;
• Funding across all disciplines, from archaeology to zoology;
• Awards for bottom-up, non-directed research
The programme provides outstanding fellows with the opportunity to develop
publications connected to their PhD research or to develop a new research project in
their chosen area of interest or one that significantly expands on their PhD.
Pioneering proposals addressing new and emerging fields of research or those
introducing creative, innovative approaches are welcomed. Proposals of an
interdisciplinary nature are also encouraged as it is recognised that advancing
fundamental understanding is achieved by integrating information, techniques, tools
and perspectives from two or more disciplines.
Highly competitive
The Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme is highly competitive,
with an average success rate of 15 per cent over the last five years. The programme
is globally recognised and attracts many applications from international researchers
who wish to undertake excellent research in the Irish higher education and research
system. The programme has enjoyed excellent gender balance across its STEM and
AHSS streams.
Successful applicants who become fellows under the programme are recognised as
demonstrating world-class potential as future research leaders.
Springboard to future research and career success
Alumni of the Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme go on to
pursue successful careers in a diverse range of research endeavours. Significant
numbers of alumni progress to postdoctoral roles and ultimately academic positions in
research-performing institutions, both in Ireland and abroad. Success in national and
international research funding opportunities is synonymous with Council alumni.
In 2016, an analysis conducted by the Council found that 77% of European Research
Council Starting Grant awardees in Ireland under Horizon 2020 were Council alumni
or supervisors/mentors. For the same period, 67% of all European Research Council
awardees in Ireland were Council alumni or supervisors/mentors.
In addition, alumni of the programme are typically successful in securing major awards
from national funders such as Science Foundation Ireland, the Health Research Board
and indeed the Council itself as part of their career development.
The Council’s early-career alumni pursue careers both inside and outside academia.
The programme cultivates research talent for enterprise, public policy, the public
sector and civil society, reflecting the needs for expertise and high-level skills across
the economy, society and culture.
The Council encourages public engagement by its funded researchers and supports
this through a variety of mechanisms, including the #LoveIrishResearch campaign
and specific initiatives such as its partnership with RTÉ Brainstorm.
Future proofing Ireland’s needs for high-level knowledge and skills
The Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme supports the
achievement of a number of public policy objectives for research and innovation. The
core objective of Innovation 2020, Ireland’s strategy for science, technology, research
and development, is to become a global innovation leader.
Ireland’s higher education and research system is key to achieving the above goal by
promoting and delivering a sustainable and prosperous future for the country. A strong,
broadly-balanced ecosystem is best placed to successfully contribute to addressing
complex societal challenges, both national and global. Such challenges increasingly
require an interdisciplinary approach, necessitating the need for investment in diverse
research ideas and talent over the long-term.
Supporting the development of individual researchers across the spectrum of
disciplines and fields is essential to a high-performing education and research system.
The Council is doing this by:
• developing the academic talent needed for Irish higher education institutions to
compete at the highest level;
• retaining our brightest minds and attracting exceptional early-career
researchers to Ireland;
• future-proofing Ireland’s international reputation and laying the foundation for
future success in European research funding;
• and inspiring future research activity at the frontiers of knowledge.
The skills developed by the Council’s fellows — intellectual curiosity, self-directed
working, resilience in the face of inevitable setbacks — are highly prized by employers
while research outputs in the form of invention and innovation support Ireland as a
strong competitor for investment.

International Conference on Biomolecular Forms and Functions at Indian Institute of Science Bangalore(IISc)
A Celebration of 50 years of the Ramachandran Map
8-11 January 2013
Structural and computational biology has revolutionized our understanding of molecular basis of function. The International Conference on Biomolecular Forms and Functions will provide a unique opportunity for interaction between structural biologists with diverse expertise, both experimental and computational. This conference is being organized to mark the 50th year of the landmark publication by G.N. Ramachandran and coworkers on the stereochemical principles of peptide and protein conformations and the resultant graphical representation as a ф - ψ map, popularly referred to as the Ramachandran map. The conference is an event to commemorate and highlight one of the most significant research work from India, which took place when the field of structural biology was at its nascent stage and it is expected to motivate young researchers in this frontier area of biology
