Hi, all.
I'm writing to let you know about the AXA 2-year postdoctoral
Fellowship on BASIC research dedicated to “A better understanding of
Risk”. More details are below.
At Queen's University Belfast, there is a first round evaluation since
only two proposals are going to be passed on to AXA. If you have
interest or know someone who has, let me know. Internal decisions will
be taken in November and the proposal will be sent to AXA in December.
This is obviously not restricted to Queen's, you might be interested
in applying from elsewhere too.
best,
cassio.

The projects must fall within the following general areas of Risk:
Life Risks: Aging and long-term care; Biomedical Risks eg infectious
disease or exposure to new technologies; Addictions and risky
behaviour
Environmental Risk: climate change; natural hazards; human driven
environmental changes eg pollution
Socio-economic Risks: Geopolitical risk; Macro-economic and financial
systemic risk; Individual and collective behaviours relating to
uncertainty; Large corporate risks
Candidate Criteria
· Must be LESS than 5 yrs since award of PhD
· International exposure of candidate –
It is expected that most of the selected candidates will move to
another country between their current and targeted post-doc position”.
It does state that a minimum of 1 semester spent abroad since Master’s
thesis will suffice. Where a candidate will remain in the same
institution for the post-doc fellowship a clear justification for this
will be required.
