DSTrain is a 5-year postdoctoral programme launched and managed by dScience – Centre for Computational and Data Sciences at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo (UiO). It is partly funded by the EU Horizon Europe under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) – Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND).
The DSTrain will award a total of 36 postdoctoral fellowship positions within the overarching frame of data science, emphasizing interaction between data science, computational science, natural sciences, and technology. The fellowships will be of 36 months each, announced in two calls over the programme period. We now open for applications to the 2nd cohort of up to 18 fellowship positions, that will start their postdoctoral projects autumn 2025 at UiO.
The DSTrain programme will facilitate ground-breaking research by emphasising interaction between data science, computational science, natural sciences, and technology. The postdoctoral fellows will be integrated in research groups across scientific disciplines where there is an urgent need for computationally skilled researchers. The research groups provide excellent research environments and supervision enabling world-class research, innovation and digital infrastructure, models for interdisciplinary collaboration and training in research, including computational and transferable skills. The DSTrain program also includes a range of cross-sectorial secondments opportunities.
The target group of the program are highly talented aspiring researchers with backgrounds in Astrophysics, Biosciences, Chemistry, Geosciences, Informatics, Mathematics, Pharmacy, Physics, and Technology systems, who through the development of their individual-driven research projects will combine disciplinary expertise, with interdisciplinary elements, and integrating the use of computational methods.
Call 2 opens the 6th of January 2025 with an application deadline 6th April 2025, at 23:59, Central European Time.
