Overview
EMBL's MSCA-funded ARISE2 programme is accepting applications for 17 three-year postdoctoral fellowships focused on developing technologies and methods for life-science research infrastructures.
Complete research opportunity details
ARISE2 fellows receive three-year contracts and combine technology development with research-infrastructure training, career development and external secondments. The 2026 call opened on 30 June 2026, closes on 30 September 2026 and schedules interviews for 25-27 November 2026. Participating research areas include data and computational sciences, AI and machine learning, software, bioinformatics, imaging, structural biology and other research-infrastructure technologies.
Eligibility requirements
The current ARISE2 call targets STEM researchers from around the world with prior experience in technology or method development relevant to life-science research infrastructures. Applicants must satisfy the programme's current eligibility and mobility requirements, use the required application and project templates, complete the ethics self-assessment, and ensure at least one reference is received by the call deadline.
Tips for this postdoctoral opportunity
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Match your research background to the project, laboratory, supervisor and required methods rather than applying only from the title.
- Prepare a focused academic CV, transcripts, publications and research statement or proposal when requested by the official call.
- Confirm funding duration, stipend/salary, tuition coverage, start date and eligibility for international applicants.
- Contact a supervisor before applying only when the official instructions recommend or require it.
Verification notes
Verified against EMBL's current ARISE2 programme and application page. It shows an active online application link, 17 fellowships, a three-year duration, a 30 June 2026 call opening, a 30 September 2026 closing date and November 2026 interviews. The page contains some legacy wording in an eligibility subsection, so this record deliberately refers applicants to the current 2026 guide rather than reproducing potentially stale date-specific eligibility text.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
