We are interested in promising young candidates who will have obtained
their Ph.D. degree before starting the fellowship, as well as in more
mature candidates with at most 6 years of post-doctoral research experience
and a publications record. Candidates not holding a PhD degree at the time
of the application must attach a letter from their advisor stating that the
PhD degree is expected to be awarded by July 2016. Researchers must be in
“mobility condition”, i.e., have not resided or carried out their main
activity (work, studies, etc.) in Belgium for more than 12 months in the 3
years immediately prior to starting the fellowship.

The position is for between 12 and 24 months. It should normally start on
September 1, 2016, and no later than November 30, 2016. Fellows are
expected to publish their research results in the CORE Discussion Papers
series, to present seminars at CORE and to interact with faculty and
students in residence at CORE. A light contribution to doctoral level
teaching might be requested.

Benefits include health insurance. The trip from your home university to
