The Flemish research network "Declarative Methods in Informatics" is looking for applicants for postdoctoral positions. The network is supported by the FWO Research Foundation of Flanders.

The network can submit candidacies for Visiting Postdoctoral Fellowships to the FWO. Junior postdoctoral fellowships are for candidates that completed their PhD less than 5 year ago. Senior postdoctoral fellowships are for candidates that obtained a PhD between 5 years and 10 years ago. Junior fellows receive a monthly grant of 1.570 EUR; senior fellows a monthly grant of 2.070 EUR. Grants are free of taxes; social security is covered by FWO.

The fellowships are for periods from 3 to 12 months. At most three months elapse between submission of the application and the decision.

Successful candidates have a good project with a clear added value for the hosting research group and a strong publication list. If interested, get in touch with one of the contact persons.
