The EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship funds early-career postdoctoral researchers to spend up to two years at a host laboratory in a different country from where they trained. It covers a salary or stipend, a relocation allowance, and extra support for fellows with children, and applications are accepted continuously throughout the year with periodic hard-deadline cutoffs rather than a single annual round.
