Dear all

This is a great opportunity to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship with one foot in the wet lab and another in computational biology; please feel free to distribute widely to relevant friends and colleagues.

> Dear All,
> 
> We are pleased to open the call for ESPOD project proposals for 2021.  The aim of the programme is to further understanding of molecular biology and disease through world-class scientific research and to generate closer ties between EBI and Sanger by fostering opportunities for collaborative work involving groups at both institutes.
>  
> A central feature of the programme is that research projects must involve significant collaboration between scientists at EBI and Sanger. The successful fellows will be jointly supervised by faculty members at each institute.  Projects will then be considered by a committee of senior scientists from EBI and Sanger, and a number will be selected for inclusion in the programme, and opened for applications from prospective ESPOD fellows. Fellowships will be awarded after a competitive selection process. 
> 
> As usual, priority will be given to new faculty and new collaborations. However, as we recognise it may be harder to set up new collaborations this year, applications from group leaders who have previously hosted a collaborative Fellowship under this programme may be considered.
>  
> Each fellowship will last for three years, and there will be two such fellowships this year. The fellowship will come with a salary and an annual budget of GBP5000 towards minor research expenses. 
> 
> When considering whether or not to submit a project, you may wish to refer to the attached guidance document.
>   
> Closing date: 5pm UK time on 18 July 2021.
> 
> Submission address: espod at ebi.ac.uk <mailto:espod at ebi.ac.uk>
> 
> Proposal content: maximum 2 pages including project title, names of supervisor and co-supervisor, project description
>  
> Important dates for your calendar:
> 
> Deadline for project submission - 18 July 2021
> Deadline for short-listing of pre-designed projects (by non involved EBI/Sanger faculty representative) - 30 July 2021
> Call open for ESPOD applications - 2 August 2021
> Deadline for ESPOD applications - 12 September 2021
> Deadline for short listed candidates by project leaders (max 3 candidates per project to be selected) - 8 October 2020 (please note you will be asked to review your candidates applications and hold Skype pre-interviews from the 12 September to 8 October 2021)
> Interviews late October /  November 2021. Last year one day was scheduled for both presentations and the interviews for 6 candidates.
> 
> November (date TBC) interviews, most likely via VC.
> 
> * late 2021/early 2021: Start date for ESPOD fellows
