Description: The aim of the Rubicon programme is to encourage talented researchers at Dutch universities and research institutes run by KNAW and NWO to dedicate themselves to a career in postdoctoral research. Rubicon offers researchers who have completed their doctorates in the past year the chance to gain experience at a top research institution outside the Netherlands (maximum of two years). The Rubicon programme also offers talented researchers from abroad the opportunity to obtain grants to spend one year conducting research in the Netherlands.

Application Details:

Eligibility: Postgraduates who are currently engaged in doctoral research or who have been awarded a doctorate in the twelve months preceding the relevant deadline. Applicants who are still engaged in doctoral research may only apply if their supervisor provides a written declaration approving their thesis. Researchers from abroad may apply. Rubicon is open for research proposals from all disciplines except for stem cell research where new human embryos are harvested and used.

Applications can only be submitted using the Iris electronic application system. To access Iris you need to apply for an access code via the NWO website (www.iris.nwo.nl). Other information about Iris can be found on the NWO website. For technical problems, please contact the Iris helpdesk.
