/ March 21, 2011 Leave a Comment

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). 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.

Proposals will be assessed on the basis of quality criteria (as listed in the brochure which can be downloaded from this website) and certain policy criteria.Multidisciplinary advisory committees will assess the applications.
The views of external referees will not be sought.
The final award decisions will be made by the boards of the relevant divisions/foundation.
The entire assessment procedure will take approximately 4 months.

Scholarship Application Deadline:31 March 2011
