The Arturo Falaschi Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025-2026 offer a fully funded opportunity for international researchers to advance their postdoctoral studies. The fellowship lasts for two years, with a possible one-year extension, and includes a competitive package covering a stipend, health insurance, and additional benefits. Outstanding fellows may also apply for ICGEB Early Career Research Grants to support their research as young PIs in an ICGEB Member State. Named in honor of Prof. Arturo Falaschi, this program offers both long- and short-term PhD and postdoctoral fellowships for scientists from ICGEB Member States to conduct research in Trieste, New Delhi, or Cape Town.
