(Closed) Call 3: 6 MSCA SEAS postdoctoral research fellow positions
Shaping European Research Leaders for Marine Sustainability (SEAS) is a postdoctoral research fellowship programme for 37 fellows launched and managed by the University of Bergen.
Main content
In this third call, we invite talented researchers to apply for 6 postdoctoral fellowships. Successful candidates will be employed in 3-year fixed-term full-time postdoctoral research fellow positions at UiB. Individual contracts may, under certain conditions, be extended by up to one year if funded from other sources than the SEAS programme.
The 6 SEAS postdoctoral research fellow positions are advertised individually in Jobbnorge, EURAXESS and linked from this webpage. Application deadline is June 12th, 2023 (exept for two positions having extended deadline, see below).
If applying you must read the relevant Jobbnorge advertisement and the SEAS Guide for applicants thoroughly for details on eligibility and application requirements, including the mobility rules. Only applications received through the recruitment portal Jobbnorge will be considered.
Application tips: Our current SEAS fellows have put together a blog post with tips on how to write a successful application!
Please be aware
- That the application process is time-demanding
- The application process requires a close dialogue with the named supervisor or contact who, close to the deadline, must sign a supervisor match declaration if an application is to be eligible.
- That some fields of research, especially within sensitive technology areas, might be enforced by Norwegian and international regulations regarding Control of the Export of Strategic Goods, Services and Technology. Candidates who by assessment of the application and attachment are seen to conflict with the criteria in these regulations might be prohibited from recruitment to UiB.
